well i finally get my manifold and turbo on, get my shep stage 3 put in the car and decided to have some fun.

did a hard launch and there was a semi loud pop in the rear end while burning rubber but the car drove just fine.

did a u turn and noticed that the car turned just fine (where normaly one tire would chirp and car would shake a bit) originaly i just thought it was a little rough when the tires broke loose.

a little later i noticed in first and second the car would rap out first and second really fast without a lot of axcelleration so i thought either i fried the clutch or the transmission somehow, but the car was still driving fine.

about 10 minutes down the freeway the car started shaking violently with alot of banging, i pulled over emediatly and started pokeing around under the car, i notice that the driver side rear axle was pretty much folded at a 90 degree angle.

anyone wanna recomend some good axles, without spending a ton of money?

also does this sound like its just the axle or could it be something more?
