    6.1 axle shaft breakage. Which side?

    Are all the axle failures on the driver's side. I want to get a spare and am trying to find out if it's always one side that breaks.

    Thanks

    Most of the failures I have seen or heard are on the passenger side, I'd say like 90% pass. and 10% driver. the thing is you don't know for sure which one is gonna go, so you need to have a spare set to be covered!

    The only one I've witnessed was the passenger side, courtesy of CAM.

    Mine was on the driver's side which caused the passenger side to wedge into the differential.

    I have a set of the upgraded '09 RT halfshafts and hubs for the stock SRT8 rear end which I'm not going to need because I'm going to a 226 posi rear end (requires different half shafts). These are brand new. I paid $480 plus shipping for them and they were on national back order as of a couple weeks ago. I'll let you have them for what I paid with free shipping. I'm going out of town tomorrow so they'll be available the week after if you are interested.

    If you break a half shaft it seems stupid to put they same weak-ass ones back to replace it.
