Caught the Bug
Feel like I wasted 15k on my dynatrac XD 60s.
Xd front with 1480 shafts do to 5x5.5 lug pattern.
So long story short I have had nothing but problems with my dynatracs. So last wheeling trip I ended up breaking a u joint which led to the ears on the shaft ovalizing the ears in the shaft. After going through my rig like I always do after check suspension components and making sure nothing more is damaged, I noticed the trackbar bracket has cracked welds and the bracket itself is cracked. Noticed the tie rod is bent as well. It really surprised it has lasted this long. Roughly 8-10 trips. Considering everyone I’ve talked to has bent their big whopping 1.25” tie rod they supply with their 12-18k axles. So for a week I’ve gotten the run around and no answers after calling everyday, while my daily driver sits parked. These axles are under a year old. They have been well used.
Here are some of the pictures.
So they’ll cover the trackbar bracket, but won’t cover labor because I chose to install my ram off of the mount to have it sitting higher than what their design is and was recommended by multiple shops to do six the ram was set up correctly. I would assume the ram tabs would of failed before the bracket tabs.
Never heard of a company having only “one year” warranty on axle shafts considering all companies have a 7 year plus warranty for standard chromoly axle shafts. When I broke my G2 axle shaft u joint, they warrantied the full axle shaft including the u joint. Did get a run around with them that took awhile for shipping do to being backed up. So how is it 9k for a front axle that I thought would be stout and have no problems for a year warranty that doesn’t mean shit and can’t cover an axle shaft. The axle shaft is over $900 to replace. End rant.
