P700 700 front axles problems!!!

[motorman18]

I wasn't aware of any retaining ring holding the axle in..... (Inside the front diff?)

Yes it’s inside the front end be in a groove on the end of axel locks in behind axel gear

And your lift might be pulling it out as well is your adjustable

if your running anything other than stock shocks you need to run limiting straps. i i cant give you the measurement right now. but if you get the measurement from a stock honda shock. fully extended
this should help you from popping axles. 5 yrs on 27 executioners on 2.5 strongmade lift. stock axles still. and i do alot of off camber and 4 lock full steering lock

No lift. Stock.

No lift. Stock.

Well I’d check that ring then

I haven’t had any issues since I swapped to the Commander shocks. I keep the shocks on the lowest setting about 2” of lift. 3 years now. No limit straps. I ride pretty hard too.

Finished up the Commander swap for my 700-2 and my front axles bind at full droop. Searching for the simplest/cheapest fix... Axles, straps, etc...?

Can you elaborate?

 

[Alan_Vander]

sorry i just woke up lol. you can use chain that works for the bolt holes and on the ends of the shock to find out where you dont bind at then measure and buy the straps or just run the chain on the shock bolts. they make limiter straps but they sale them by the lengths

or if you have the stock shocks handy fully extended go 1.25-1.5 inches longer at the bolt holes. and you should be good. i have 5 inches of lift on stock shocks and my axles dont bind. but im only about 1.25-1.5 inches past full drop of stock shock cause the strongmade shock lift. full droop my axles dont bind and i have stock axles all the way around on my 2014

Okay. I'm running the Commander conversion, which puts it at about 2" of lift, but the commander shocks definitely extend much more than the stocks at full droop. And, after a little inspection today, I noticed the passenger front has a split boot... May just take the opportunity to upgrade to Rhinos, and not worry about it any longer!

Anyone have issues with front axles on. 700-4 I have a three inch lift and outlaw2 seems axles are o er extending and coming apart. Am I the only one?

i snapped one of my front axles with a 2.5" lift n 25" tires, put rhino axles all around n no problems. i wanted the 2.0 rhinos but they don't make it for our 700's

this is what i was worried about with people running this converison. 3 wheel equals too much. a chain limiter is a cheap upgrade.

I haven’t broken any axles on mine it’s a 14 so I’ve had it awhile. I did the commander shock swap so about 2.5” lift. lol just looked back over this and realized I responded awhile back lol
