)(*#$ diff cup
On saturday at the track I broke the passanger side axle cup (the part of the axle that goes into the diff and bolts to the "real" axle.
Does anyone make stronger versions of these?
Who else has broken these or other drivetrain bits? I thought the TII drivetrain was pretty stout but after a week of driving with real power my transmission is starting to make noise and I broke this... I'm thinking I'm going to be breaking a lot.

considered just swapping in another S4 diff? Although they're hard to come by where we are it might be an option to explore...
But personally I don't think I've seen those particular pieces (the cups with the bolt studs in them that the 1/2 shafts bolt to, right?) in upgraded form.
Maybe a driveshaft/machine shop can re-produce them with a different material?

Yeah just the cup broke. Sheared right where the splines end. About 1.5" thick metal.
I am considering drawing them up in CAD and having them made in a sturdier form.
the diff itself is fine, same with the axle. though apparently worn out because I'd think that with limited slip it would still move the car with one broken axle.

I called the other local dealership (they're a bit further away but less retarded) and they said there are several in stock in the US that they can get to me, $96 later and I have a new stock one coming with a 1 year warranty. I still need stronger ones though

your diff housing will soon to be going out. like i said...you can only push the thing so hard before other things are going to blow up.
don't waste your time or money trying engineer new ways of holding the carrier to the case, the power will find new ways of escaping one way or another. your time/money will be better spent on a whole new upgraded rear end.
