Starting to twist
Here is a picture of my inner axle. This is only after about 2K miles with my 385 motor. No sticky tires and 3 trips down the strip on street tires. Many hard launches on the street though. Looks like I will be shopping for some new axles.

Being that these were rebuilt/remanned, are you positively sure you did it? Maybe just a poor candidate yoke (for rebuild) to begin with...
I used remans on mine when I redid the rear end of my 76 but then I didn't have to really worry about any kind of HP either. I'm going to have to keep this in mind if/when I decide to get moving on upping the HP of mine.

The shafts when I purchased them a few years ago were straight. I rechecked them when I rebuilt the rear 2 years ago and they were straight. It has happened in the last 2 years.
