Moser or Strange Race Axles?

so are you saying i can send back my strange axles and get them shortened. i need 1-1/2" off each side and i want 5/8th studs put on as well. i love my old strange axles.

Then you can use trick aluminum lug nuts, MW nuts here. I had a set in titanum also.

I bought some strange 35 spline and in six years one broke.I then bought a pair of mosers 12 years later they still look new.

That Bunker Hill in the background?

I've seen every brand twist, including Moser.

Yup, even this 40 spline MW live axle. Twisting is better than the alternative.

Then what is the reason for using Strange specifically?Moser and other brands should be considered for application and cost.The same logic applies to why chose Strange over MW.No one's saying Strange is not a good axle,but for the cost,delivery and ease of ordering we find Moser easier to deal with.We bought a lot of Strange early on but over time we found that to order anything you best have every demension including your shoe size,and that didn't guarantee you got what you ordered.For everyday bracket cars Moser fits the budget next level would be Strange with MW being the ultimate choise for us.

Street/strip: Moser or Dutchman (1541 with ductile flange)

Strip only: Strange Pro Race (4340 thru-hardened)

Any thru-hardened Pro axle (Strange, Mark Williams, Summers Bros) is very hard in order to minimize twisting. Unfortunately, they are also brittle. Hitting bumps can cause the flanges to break off.

With that being said,twisting,breaking,what is the advantage for the dollars spent?Is it just for the weight savings?My questions and concerns are in refrence to bracket cars and not high end ProMods,Pro Stock and like race cars.With out a sales pitch,what is the down side to Moser?I'am not trying to be argumentative and truely respect your knowledge and appreciate your past help,your a wealth of information when it comes to differentials.

B G,

I guess you could call this post a sales pitch, because I handle products I feel are the best value for the application.

Moser sells a good axle, ideal for street/strip cars in fact. Unless you are looking for potential contingency money, the Dutchman product costs less for virtually the same thing, with the same warranty, however.

In addition to being priced competitively with the cheaper/easier to produce Moser offerings, Strange Pro axles are fairly stronger and lighter.

If you are building a race car, why would you run a mild steel cage, stock material cranks, driveshafts and axles if cr-mo stuff is readily available for a few bucks more?

Thanks for the explaination,your point well taken.Strange and others are a great product.it just seems a lot of people get frustrated when ordering from Strange since they don't seem to willing to give a lot off assistance in getting the measurements and the delivery is no very quick.Maybe like other manufactures it's better to deal with dealers like you that give the extra time and advise.Thanks again for all your past help.If I was dealing retail,I would buy from you.
