Fail - Why C clip eliminators are a good idea

[L92 OLDS]

This video caught my eye. Obviously something in that 7.5" carrier let loose.

Slicks + 7.5 = bad idea

I have personally seen this happen 3 times and a amazed there was never any body damage.

If the driver checked the rear end then he would have known there is a problem with the rear end. Anyone who modified the drive train but leaves the rear end stock needs to be checking it regularly and not expect it to handle abuse over and over..

I too have personally see it happen...to a g body monte carlo none the less! Had slicks, went to launch, it banged and spit the driver side axle out slamming it down on the driver side buckling the quarter in the process! Dude got out and kicked another dent in it out of frustration, and most likely some embarrassment.

Seen it happen many times even on 12 bolts that's why i run a ford 9"

Happened to me twice. Axl didn't come all of the way outa the tube the first time. Second time it shot out hitting the concrete barrier and came back and hit drivers door. Fun times.

LOL. Stops em from spitting a axl, but not from breaking. Installed a 9 inch with 31's, she ain't twisting them off.
