Long time ago I saw a product that you hooked to your axle breather outlet for just about any axle and instead of a tube it was just a piece of plastic that expanded and contracted with the air. Anyone know where to find them?

K&N does (or did) have a small filter that had a fitting to connect to a rubber tube. Haven't looked into it for about 15 years.

Not sure if that is what you are looking for...

Sounds like a bellow that changes volume. Never seen one for axles, but I'm familiar with the concept.

yep that is a good term for it. I have seen them but had no interest in them at the time.

I've seen balloons used quite often.


Two MRI's and a CAT scan....it's confirmed. I'm just not right in the head.

You'll probably want to check the clearance during full compression on either side and ensure this doesn't get compressed once it's mounted.
