Thread: Diff Axle Splines

Thanks

No it means you were lucky and or unlucky
D2 Axles are not known for there weakness but the diffs that is a whole different story .
If you have lockers replace the axles if you don`t your diffs will follow very closely

I have front and rear lockers and have snapped the front CV and the rear right Axle had the twisted splines

There is your answer
The axles and CV`S are now the fuse
Replace them with stronger stuff and your fuse has been transferred elsewhere

Yeah in to the transfer case haha

No the T/C are very strong and are not a weak point

My guess is the C/W Pinion is the next weakest link

reminds me of my RRC which had the 10 spline setup.
Did both diffs and one rear half shaft was similarly rooted

If 'ya get that pegged ... the next weakest link will be .... (I'm thinking the rotoflex )

I have broken the diff before, but Ashcrot lockers are strong
