After approx 180` of twist. An old race trick is to paint/scribe a line down the shaft to monitor how much twist is going on after a year of abuse. They will twist over time, esp with slicks. Most I've seen fail twards the splines. Haven't seen one like that in a while.

You'll like the Mosers, I'd be putting in new bearings now too. Those old junk axles like to tear them up. Good studs as well.

Good to hear everything else is tip top!!

Interesting notion Steve. Makes sense. So, after your scribed/painted line rotates 180 deg its time for a new axle?
