Chromoly Front Axles

"I could wheel the lines I wanted without worrying about putting too much stress on the equipment when the wheels were turned. Great going Spidertrax!" Bill Johnston, iZook.com

"During the testing, we did enough bouncing and hopping that, from previous experience we know, would normally snap a stock axle into a gozillion pieces. These axles performed flawlessly and shown no damage in the splines or in the birfield cup upon post-flogging inspection." Eric Bewley, Zukiworld.com

Sick of breaking Samurai front axle shafts? The all new RCV 26 Spline Chromoly Front Axle Shafts by Spidertrax put an end to an over 2 decade old problem!

We started ground up and designed an all new axle shaft utilizing the latest axle shaft technologies we have perfected in competition rock crawling and racing. Key advantages of our design are:

• All components are made from 4340 chromoly heat treated material with all heat treatment done after machining, not before.
  
  
• Inner axle shafts are larger in diameter, upgraded from 22 spline to 26 spline.
  
  
• Inner axle shafts are fully machined or "necked down". This process is more expensive than simply making a shaft one diameter, but the extra cost is well worth it. By properly machining down the axle shaft, you end up unloading the axle shaft splines and are able to distribute the entire load throughout the shaft. Otherwise, the splines would take the brunt of the load and become the weak link.
  
  
• Front oil sealing surfaces are kept to OEM specification. This is only possible with an inner axle shaft that is fully machined.
  
  
• Patented birfield cage design adds vital strength during full turn high torque loads (US Pat # 7,025,684).
  
  
• Birfield and inner axle shafts come fully greased and assembled just like OEM. There is good reason to do this too besides the obvious "it makes life easier". When a birfield joint is brand new it is critical that all bearing surfaces are properly greased and greasing a birfield joint is most effectively done prior to installing the axle shafts. Therefore, all birfields are greased prior to the installation of the inner axle shafts and then the inner axle shafts are installed and locked in place.
  
  
• All parts come with a "Limited Lifetime Warranty". You break your first part, we will replace it for you hassle free. After your first warranty claim, all parts are covered for life from defects in material and workmanship. For more details on the Limited Lifetime Warranty, please visit our Terms of Business page.
  
  
• Every part of this kit, from design to manufacturing, is proudly done in the United States of America. Don't be fooled by cheap import imitations selling inferior parts for pennies on the dollar. Save yourself the trouble and buy American.
  
  

Pre-Assembled & Pre-Greased

Necked Down 26 Spline

Although the overall design of this product is the property of Spidertrax, all manufacturing is done by U.S. based RCV Performance. We take great pride in manufacturing all of our own parts in-house, but RCV Performance was able to offer critical support to make this a great product. First, the patented cage design mentioned above is their property and the added strength gained from using this patent is highly worth it. Second, on a production level, RCV Performance is set up far better than us for manufacturing the birfield joint itself. Keeping in mind we wanted to design a great product, both made in the U.S and priced right, we chose this partnership to meet these goals.
