axle

Maybe overall width vs tire size is a better question. I've seen this in various threads as a peripheral discussion, but I can't seem to find a thread dedicated to this. I'm close to making sparks building some new axles and I'm not interested in doing it twice. My build is a stretched YJ...

Bought a heap of axles out of a field. I have no info on what they came out of. 2 of the rears are Ford dana 61s with 3.31 gears. Is there any market for these or scrap metal? I know Dana 60 rear axles are nearly worthless, is the market any different for these obscure axles? I really can’t...

Figured this was a decent place to post this. My daily tj has a hp44/9" disc brake out of 77 f150/bronco under it. Rebuilt the rear axle due to a gear issue and put new timkin set20 axle bearings in. Driver side is fine so far. Passenger side is pouring fluid, literally pouring. Pulled it apart...

I need it as stock for a project. Don't care what it's from as long as the bearing area is at least 1-3/8" OD. Don't even need the full length, just whatever fits in a flat rate box.

Trying to help a buddy ID a front axle. ‘61 Ford factory 4x4 fleet side pickup. Closed knuckle/8 lug. I was guessing old coarse spline D60? He is wanting to put discs up front, so any help there would also be appreciated. Lug nut 4x4 doesn’t do em and that’s been my go to in the past. If this...

In the true spirit of the hobby I'm changing boats in the middle of the stream. This requires more stupid questions. I was originally going to build a 72" WMS 14b with stock 05+ 1550 axle shafts. But, I came to my senses after a few people I know started breaking the 35 spline axles. So now...

I have a 1995 toyota 4runner im building . im putting in chromoly axles by longfield. the issue i have is the abs cog when pressed on has no room for the last race bearing to be put on leaving no proper seal. the main reason for all this is im doing a rear disk brake conversion . i have no clue...

Thread title is short. What is min lift that can be done with leaf spring SAS? Victim is an 02 trd 4wd tacoma extra cab. Longer: What might prevent 1" lift SAS? Oil pan? edit with more info The truck can't maintain an alignment to save it's tires. The last set I just replaced lasted under...

Ok so this is my problem I upgraded my front brake caliper and now my rim hits the calipers and I need to use a 8mm spacer to clear it. I’ve been looking for weeks now and can’t find a longer wheel studs that will work.

Heavy duty trailer axle I saved off an air compressor that got scrapped years ago. Doing some clean up and I'll never get around to using it. 6 lug, spring perches 30.5", WMS 66". Has 5 stud flanges for brakes 57.25". Axle tube approx 3.5". In Post Falls ID. $50 come and get it.

TLDR; So....anyone here broken a shaft with a Grizzly locker and if so, did the locker also break? Please let me know the axle you experienced the break with as I'm not sure breaking a D60 vs. a D30 is a good comparison. I don't much care if it's front or rear axle....just looking for some...

Used 3.5K trailer axle hubs with bearings and seals. $5 if you want the new dust caps. I took these off my car hauler to install brakes on my second axle and they are in good, working condition. One stud has some boogered threads, but you could just run a 1/2"-20 die over it or replace it...

So we went off on a bit of a tangent in the front 9" thread, but I don't want to derail that any further and still have a few more questions. Let's put together a complete list of the currently known spline pressure angles. I'll update this first post as we get more information, just to create...

Thought that it was my U-Joints, well I was wrong for those that know, what am I getting into here? I am trying to prepare for the repair, I have just never done a rear end before cliffs: 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel/Auto 4x4 all stock other than the required maintenance 300+k miles some of you...

What is your method of measuring for axle shaft length on a custom width steer axle? I'm working on building 2 SD 14b steers for a buggy and I was going to use stock SD length axles but now I've decided to go 40 spline and since I'd need custom axle shafts I might move the center sections.

Been busy at work so no real building, but bench-building in my head. Before you tell me 'sirch newb' I have searched IBB and nothing has come up. I'm sure PBB has something, but it's such a dumpster fire for finding shit (or reading it) and perhaps there's new arguments pro/con for this. So...

Im looking for alternative ways to level. Being a single axle trailer I cant "wedge" the wheels together like I did on my old double axle TT to prevent movement after leveling. I have used the drive up ramp with the small triangle wedge you put in behind it, That works ok but I dont get a lot...

I know these had the weird 12 bolt ring gear and carrier. Has any one ever used this third with a standard 8in carrier and gear set? 4.88 is the lowest ratio I’ve found for factory 8.2 12bolt carrier. I have access to a free complete axle with a bent tube and maybe shaft. I thought about getting...
