here is an old trick............paint a straight line all the way down the stock axles that get abuse on the track. once a year (or more depending on the abuse level) pull the axles and see if that straight line has started to "curve". If it has, replace it. Sometimes thay just snap, and sometimes they will show signs of stress before that.
I was told by a old drag racer that when the line makes one full revolution its time to replace the axle. It seemed kinda strange to me but he haid that axles will twist quite a bit before they snap.
