Reply With QuoteThat has a screw on steel cap, hasn't it? My guess is it hit a rock or something similar pretty hard. The alternative is faulty heat treatment, although I suspect it is meant to be pretty hard to prevent spline wear.

SubscriberWondering if anyone else has experienced this failure mode in a drive flange, or knows what may have caused it? It was an incidental finding when I dismantled to service wheel bearings on the 130. Wasn't even leaking. Has not done much work, I replaced rear shafts and flanges a couple of years ago so had a set with worn splines to temporarily install. I've contacted Ashcrofts a couple of days ago to see if they can suggest a cause but no response yet.

Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comVery similar in design to the MaxiDrive HD drive flange MD839X
Rear Heavy Duty Drive Flange Extended Spline - MDE859X
Or the FRC5806A HD drive flange
