Default Hendrix-Engineering axle ready to ship!

Alright guys you can read the review from skull and make your desecion,we also had someone else test the axe and they felt like 99% of the issue was gone.Keep in mind i have never or will never sell the axles as eleminating wheelhop,they will drasticly reduce it for most and resolve it for others.This is by far the best solution with no side effects to the way your car rides.We will sell the first 10 for $299 that will include a inspection of your stock parts reassembling with our bar ,new boots and our grease.You can also have the parts shipped to you for $249 and assemble yourself.

It doesn't matter as long as one is bigger and one is smaller. Drivers side is longer and more likely to fail anyway. Hendrix will be making a passenger axle as well.

I chose to replace the shorter axle ,leaving the longer factory axle to twist the most.This is the best shot at trying to run one axle and save the low hp guys the most money.On our pro level axles it doesnt matter what side the bigger bar is on because were replacing both.The reason i put the bigger axle on the passanger side in the pro set is to offset the weight a little.

At that power level i would recomend just the one big bar,thats what makes this work.It will be $299 plus $40 for shiping and insurance.
