After a hard weekend of riding, I was cleaning my bike, and I notice that my axle looked a little bent where it connects to the wheel hub. I took it to the dealer and they confirmed that is was a little bent and would only get worse with more jumping. I does not affect the drivability very much.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Is there a brand of axles that has a lifetime unlimited warranty for bending?

TRY LOOKING AT DURABLUE.COM. CLICK ON THE WARRANTY ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE. THERE IS OTHER COMPANIES OUT THERE BUT THIS ONE CAME TO MY MIND.

axles bend all the time. ecspecially stock ones. i have ran lonestar for years. and so is dominator. they stand be their lifetime warranty. i have ran durablue and had nothing but problems with getting a bent or broke one fixed, and im not only one. when buying a new axle. you get what you pay for.

I checked it out, and I think I would have to go with an RPM Dominator I or II for the unlimited warranty. If it breaks, they replace it.

I know I am going to need an axle; I just don't know how long I will be able to put it off.

Landed it a little nasty on the left side a few times again today, so probably not very long. This is probably going to put my front suspension on hold for a while.

I've found alot of times axle's bend it's not from jumping.

It's from sliding into stuff.Took out my stock axle on my R this way.


Had a few buddies do the same thing.

I bent my stock one but it gave me a perfect chance to get a G Force. Ever since I havn't had a problem.
