I was wondering if anyone knows of any axles that are available for lowered cars. Like a shortened or strengthened axle for the front. Since i lowered my car i blew a couple axles. My mechanic said im too low so i was forced to raise it a little. But i want to be low, so what an i do???

Well IDK, this problem has stressed me from day one. When i lowered the car in the first place it made my car shake, one bearing was bad and i never knew until i lowered it (i thought it was the coil-overs so i put it back to stock and the shake stopped, then i bought new coil-overs and it still shook so i knew something was up, then i took it to my mechanic and he said bad axle, i replaced it and no more shaking). Never had a problem for months after that. Then i had a axle boot rip, i noticed on vacation. On my way home my car started to shake a lil bit so i replaced that axle when i got home. Didn't work, it was actually the opposite axle, not the one with the ripped boot, that went. So i replaced that too. That leaves me with two brand new axles. Two weeks later im driving, the speed limit, and VROOOOOOOOM, my axle goes again. They replace it and it goes again as there pulling out of the garage(RIGHT after they fix it). He refuses to fix (and warranty) it unless i raise it back up, i was very very low. I actually removed the circle ring you spin to lower and raise the car so that the coil-over just dropped ALL the way down as far as it would possibly go (>4 inch drop) So i raised it and havent had a problem since. So i dont want to test my luck, one of the reasons im getting TEIN Super Street coil-overs and new strut mounts. Hopefully those two mods will help out a lot. That puts me to this point now, i want better axles. Sorry about such a long post but thats the only problem i have ever had with my poor Celica and i want it fixed!!!!!!!!
