Syclone axles

I've searched & couldn't find a definitive answer to this. Hopefully someone can help me. I need to change out one of my rear axles. I'm probably going to order some from Moser & needed to know if there is anything special about a Syclone axle that I need to know before ordering a set.

Re: Syclone axles

if you measure the axle well and get the proper spline count, give that info to Moser, and they'll make you the direct replacement that is about 25% stronger than stock.

qbnkiller, that's what I was going to do, what I was wondering about is are there any special features like abs reluctor ring mounts & stuff like that?

If they are special because of the ABS, its a great excuse to ditch it. :2cents:

I dont think moser will put the abs rings on there, and yes they are on the end of the axel and I think when you do a c clip removal there isnt the room for it anymore.

I don't think my ABS works anymore. I pulled my dash apart the other day to do some wiring & found out a that someone took my dash apart to pull the ABS warining light outta the dash cluster, that tells me that someone had a permenant ABS light on & just pulled the bulb to shut it off. :rant:

Everytime I've worked with Moser, they built the 12 bolt in my LS1 car & the 9" for my Elcamino. they will do reluctor rings if you pay for them. I don't really know how the syclone rear is setup. Is there a reluctor ring on each axle or is there one ring mounted to the Posi Unit?

I wasn't planning on doing a C-clip delete on this truck. It's one thing to do a C-Clip delete on a really, really, really fast car like my LS1 car, but that car is 2wd & launches on ET Streets, or ET street radials and is setup to cut 1.3x 60's. The Syclone is AWD & I'm only hoping for 1.5x 60's with DR's on all 4. I'm probably going with either a Strange or Moser stock replacement axle set.

When I was still running the 10 bolt in my F-body I was getting 1.5x 60's outta it on the stock style 10 bolt with Moser axles & an auburn pro Diff. The only reason I chnaged it was due to the fact that it wasn't an if it's gonna break, it's a when is it gonna brake.

Re: Syclone axles

I just ordered some Moser's. $250 for the set with studs. Not too bad, I also have a Mac rear end girdle from my old Fbody 10 bolt & a really good eaton posi from the 10 bolt. With what I have, I should be able to build a pretty bullet proof little rear for this truck.

Don't get too carried away beefing up the rear, its not need THAT much imho. I haven't heard of many people breaking the stock rear. Hell someone went 9.55 on one.

Money might be better spent elsewhere.

I know that this rear doesn't need much, but stock axles are basically the same price as the Moser's. All of the other parts are left over's from my LS1's 10 bolt. I'm sure that if I would have bought this truck with straight axles that I would have never had to swap them out. Really I'm going to end up with a rearend that I'll never have to worry about again, for about $250.
