I have 99 wolverine, just bent my second rear yamaha axle. Thinking about a durablue elimantor. Just wondering if you think they were worth the extra money.

Man,what are you guys doing to your Wolverines? I've seen a lot of bent axle posts,makes me wonder if they changed the strength of the axle since 95. I've pounded the living sheet out of mine,big jumps,bottomed out the shocks on impact,that quad has been to Silver Lake and Little Sahara and ran hard,not one axle problem. I've made some really bad,off center landings,landed on just one back wheel,everything that should have bent an axle,my stock rims looks like they've been jackhammered,but no axle wobble. Unless you guys are dropping them things off a 10 foot cliff !!! Seriously,though,it makes me wonder if the metal for the axle has been changed at all,seems like the newer ones have some problems. Any older Wolverines bent theirs yet? let me know,maybe I should cut back on some (just some) of the jumping until I find out for sure !! ??.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
