I just have a quick question about strange oval kera axles do they work and are they worth the money? Any thoughts. Thanks a head of time

Think about this for a minute. There are several "springs" in your driveline. The crankshaft, the u joints, the drive shaft, the pinion shaft, the axles, the tire sidewall. Which spring is much softer than the rest? (The tire)Quote:

The answer is 90.9.
Lets double the stiff spring. (A=2000, B=100)
The answer is 95.
Now double the soft one. (A=1000, B=200)
The answer is 166.
Please explain
You have a bunch of torsional springs in series. Changing the stiffness of one of the stiffer parts (the axle) is going to do very little.Quote:

It made the car rotate too much and i couldnt adjust out of it. and with my rearend being offset I couldnt just swap axles and was not going to spend $250 for another one. These might work for others but 90% of the time i dont need my car to rotate better.
The point of them is to make the car rotate better... with less stagger etc. Sounds like your saying they worked perfectly for you.
I used a different brand with a centered rear and the same diameter both sides and the car was faster on entry and exit especially on the dry.They DO twist
They work well for me in a stockcar.
Are they not advertised as a way to balance out torque steer upon acceleration?Quote:

Not that you really care you just want to argue with me for some reason, you should try getting a life.
Don't flatter yourself. I thought you spoke of entry, not exit. And those effects would be opposite. Trying to gather info here.Quote:
