You could scribe a line the length of you axles, and periodically check to see if the line is straight or starting to twist, then you know that the axles need to be upgraded. All that being said, I don't think you'll have any problem with the 8.8

I agree especially since the car is already on the road.The day you decide to assault the drag strip on a regular basis then maybe you should consider a 9" otherwise paint that line on your current axles.
