need upgade on halfshafts

[aceospades]

o.k. I own a t-bird not a cobra but I'm looking into getting new half shafts. I know that reaxle is a company that makes nice ones but can you tell me some other ones. if they make them for your car maybe they will make my langth thats the only sence I will also upgrade to 31 spin

Have you tried www.tccoa.com I always went there before I traded in my 94. That would be my best advice. Good luck

yea I'm a member but most guys at that site say stock is good. but comone have you seen them they look like papperclips. someone said that reaxle is good but I've seen bad stuff on them too.

IIRC, I thought Joe Lynch had some info about Raxle halfshafts on his '99 (prior to his solid axle swap). Might want to take a look through his tech notes:

Additionally, GKN & Raxle were/are
two vendors that catered to the IRS halfshaft aftermarket. I'm not sure if either of them have developed any new halfshafts but GKN was the OEM supplier for the 2000 Cobra "R" halfshafts. They used the hardened 31 spline GKN halfshafts on the '00 R.


GKN's site (stage III halfshafts were the name btw):

I happened to dig up an old thread over on the Corner-Carvers' msg board while searching for Raxles' website on Google; it discussed their halfshafts 'sploding in a '99 (obviously this failure was at a very high speed of 135+ MPH on the dyno, so take that into consideration):
