i was out tonight in my stang and i was enjoying the night out with the stangers. until.... i shifted hardcore into 2nd and i twisted an axle tube. to be more specific... the axle tube rotated inside the differential housing. now ive heard of this happening on high horsepower cars. basically instead of the lower control arm pushing my car forward, it pushed my axle tube back. make sense? so what i wanna know is why. my car is not making anywhere near enough power to be doing that kind of ****. heres the list...

96 gt 5spd non pi
CAI
throttle body
plenum spacer
H pipe
magnaflow exhaust
eibach pro kit
frpp alum. driveshaft
upper and lower control arms
kyb quad shocks
superior 28 spline hardened axles
frpp 4:10 gears
and drag radials

the car hooks like hell but like i said before... i shouldnt have been able to do this without some serious power. i had the car on nitrous for a year and it never gave me any issues. im welding the next one caus this is rediculous. so whos heard of this happening? where did i go wrong here?:shrug:

I would say Weight, 4.10s, Sticky Tires, and the age of the car.
