Abstract

A device for reducing axle failures on motorized vehicles that includes a sleeve that wraps around the axle and a separate single pieces or two-piece axle guard that wraps around said sleeve. The present invention allows the torsional flex that the axle manufacturer intended to occur but prohibits the axle from bending and possibly breaking. The present invention also acts as a shock-absorber for the axle by absorbing energy that is being transferred through the axle during normal use. Absorbing this energy increases the life of the axle and drive-train and reduces the risk of failure during use.
