Title: Upgrading Front Axle Shafts!
Post by: mrfast on 09/ 5/16 - 03:43PM

One year ago----Labor day weekend 2015 I slightly stretched the ears on the driver side front outer axle shaft, I replaced the U-joint and tack welded the caps. Skip forward to Sat.--one year later, Labor day weekend 2016 and one of the welds popped off the cap. Ken said when that happens I need to replace shafts!
I ordered a set today! 8)

I went with Ten axles, I'm pretty sure Ten, G2 and Alloy are all owned by same company!

Thanks for the offer Eric, I'm in no big hurry to change them out. Maybe this fall when it cools down some
