your the only person i know that has bent an easystreet shaft and has gone through 5 bags ive had my kit on for about the same amount of time as you and ive gone through 1 fitting. i dunno what your doing to your kit but mine is working great. is the kit new or use? if its used are you sure its an easystreet kit? i know aim makes @!#$ty stuff and their shafts snapping are pretty common.

Well thank God im not the only one who knows how to blow one of these things.

So what exactly are you doing to them?

I know that I play with mine alot but I never ran more than a 145 psi switch. SO i never had them over pressured. But hitting alot of sides and hopping one corner of the front while doglegging is what got mine I think.

I broke a shaft once becasue the nut was rusted on after I had trimmed the top and didint paint it. I was wrneching on it trying to bust it loose and snapped the threaded portion.



Do you drive on really bad roads? What were the situations each time one broke or bent?


I am all that is man
