RE: I found the weakness of the Challenger
This whole half shaft issue is VERY disappointing. Apparently, they did not design it like the old Challengers where they were "over built" in the driveline. With the sturdy 8 3/4 axle or better yet, the Dana 60, a guy never had to worry much about the abuse he was dishing out. Perhaps a U-joint would go eventually, but nothing like this. And to think this is happening on Automatic cars with stock wheels/tires!! Ugh!
These cars are SRT's and built to be run and run hard. I certainly hope the '09 "fix" is overkill like it should be and the '08 guys get some help from the factory.
I knew a solid axle was a better idea....I know, I know, the handling would be much less.
