To be clear, what I mean is that I'd suggest that you upgrade to forged steel 
axles, which are reportedly even stronger than the billet steel axles which 
have been available for years.   There's nothing wrong with your hub carriers 
though.

Dennis Quella sells the forged axles.   There is an extra-cost aluminum hub 
centering ring which screws into the end of the axle, and I would urge you to 
get those as well.
