And if you changed gear ratios, you were screwed as the spool would move slightly to the left or right.
The last time that happened to me, I said enough was enough. I ordered all new Mark Williams axles and spools and they were a dream. You could pull them out using two fingers on each side of the flange and put them back with just a bump from the palm of your hand. No comparison.
More than once I've had to change rear ends between rounds. With MW components it's a dream. With Strange axles..... no way.

X2 I had the same situation on my car.I twisted two sets of axles from Strange.The first set were 31 spline, and I blamed myself for that one.I stepped up to 33 splines and twisted them also.Both sets moved about 1 1/2 -2 splines.This was when my car was in bracket mode. (stick shift small block).Strange refused to offer any help.I purchased Mark Williams axles cut to fit the splines in the Strange spool and never looked back.
