axle

Maybe I havent searched hard enough, but I'm not finding answers to my questions regarding the ins and outs of an axle truss. I see the aftermarket make nice looking blingie units. But to me, it seems like the designer was an expert in CAD and not fabricating or wheeling ( just my asshat opinion...

Looking for a pair of these with or without rotors.

I have 2 of these, brand new: https://www.rustysoffroad.com/collections/xj-cherokee-84-01-axle-shafts-and-accessories/products/ten-factory-27-spline-rear-8-25-axle Previous owner had said that the C8.25 he swapped in the rear was 27 spline, but, turns out it's 29 spline. I put them in...

Did a bunch of welding on a 2004 Sterling 10.5. Looking down the tube from one side it appears it may be warped very slightly. Using a digital angle finder I found the tubes on each side were bent up 0.3°. Is that okay to run, or should I fix it? If I were to fix it my plan is to weld a ~3”...

Got a Skys SAS kit I'm going to be putting on my 4runner, just have a question about jig placement for cutting the hole for the frame tubes. From what I have gathered online there is a little "window" in the frame under the body mount where as my 2nd gen 4runner has a little plate over it that...

I cross posted in ford but I'm getting no traction, I'll hgtd when I get my answer I've sent this to a few friends, I'm getting mixed answers Sure looks like the base of the hub fills up the wheel 78 f250 super cab, door tag says 3800lb front, but things can be swapped in 45 years Is this a...

I bought a complete solid axle a bit ago and got into tearing it down yesterday. Noticed inside one of the balls that it appears to have been chewed up a pretty good amount, atleast with comparing to pics/videos I can find. Just wondering if it's still smart to run this or should I find a new...

Hello all. Im considering a small trailer as apposed to flat towing (for a variety of reasons) our soon to be TOAD 2-dor Chevy Tracker. What Im thinking is an over-axled, but properly sprung trailer. Tracker will weigh about 3k. Id like to leave another 1000lb for hauling additional gear as...

So I'm preparing to weld a set of trusses to a D60 front and 14b rear. I got some high-nickel MIG wire for the center sections (nodular iron/cast steel whatever it really is) and my question is can the high-nickel wire be used on the tubes as well...or is nickel wire not as awesome for the mild...

Or are the Ford Exploder F8.8 still the way to go for an "install & forget it" budget build? If not, what are they? I initially wanted to buy a basic TJ rear axle swap weld-on brackets to transplant my XJ's C8.25 in my TJ, but the C8.25 housing is bent (center section bent toward back, hubs...

I'm trying to put 5.38s in a 2005 Dodge 2500 9.25 axle. My understanding is you need a spacer to run IFS GM front gears to get this ratio. No big deal. But I happen to have 4 or 5 9.25 IFS front diffs laying around. Can I just steal the carrier from one of those to avoid a spacer? If I buy a new...

Hey guys, who here is a spindle guru on rear axles? 14b, sterling 10.25/10.5, Eaton HO72, d60, d70, d80, AAM10.5 and AAM11.5 and AAM 11.8 are all of them around the same strength spindle? I know the Eaton is different than the 14b but similar. Are the 60/70/80 the same as a 14b spindle? I...

New, never used, but has been sitting around for a few years so it does have some harmless surface rust on it. 16-spline. Bought for a project that never got off the ground. Will ship on buyer's dime, located in Gulf Breeze, FL. $350

Looking at possibly getting a 2016 f550 4x4 and would want to use the axles in a dentside for project BUY they're factory 10 lug and I'd want to go to 8 lug for normal wheel and tire choices. Or would I be better off selling the axles and buying f350 axles. Axle strength isn't my concern since...

I’m a total rc newb and took a couple in on trade. The previous owner/ builder knows his stuff and I’ve always considered them to be bulletproof….. However I drive with restraint and my “full send” 9 year old does not. When one wheel went dead yesterday, my thoughts went to a portal gear...

Learn me. Trailer is about to go through some repairs. Mainly building some drive over fenders out of 8" c channel. Spread axle seems to be all the rage these days, and I can see an advantage with weight distribution. I can buy an equalizer of varrying lengths. Should move the rear axle...

Just got some from Busted Knuckle..so question install..I assume Red loctite and snug them or Tq them? If TQ how much. Thanks

This subject has cone up in several threads, most recently in hydro-Dynanmics. I didn’t want to muck up his build thread, but I’ve always had questions about these that would take some tests or some good math. The main question is do they work? That sounds simple, but when you think. It through...
