Heres the story. Went to the track 8th mile running high 7s ,There was a 03 cobra being towed when I pulled in. I first reaction was well Im glad its not me! Well I raced about 4 times and decided to go one last time before they closed. Off the line I went Shifting into second I herd a loud POP!!! And the rpm's just redlined. Oh:mad: I was. The car had only 2000k miles on it. Took a look and the left rear axle looked like a pencile tip. Had it towed to ford and had a few phone calls. Took them almost a week for parts and I was pissed. Why should I haft to wait a dam week for a part that is not back ordered. Has this happened to anyone else? I have put a complete Kenny Brown Kit on, Sub frame connectors,jacking railes, matrix braces, Irs rear carrier I am hopeing the new rear carrier will elminate the wheel hopping and prevent me from snaping another rear axel. Ford shouled of stuck with the ford 9in rear axel instead of the independent rear supension. Anyone have any Ideas????
