Yep, they'll work fine. Same warranty as TenFactory, as last I looked, a bit cheaper.

(a couple posts from a few years back even indicated that when they pulled the stickers off their g2 shafts, they found a ten factory logo. At the time, there was speculation that it was just a manufacturing problem for g2 and a short run of rebrands, but who knows...)

Another option is revolution gear- American made and the company is run by a guy who has spent his career working with gears.

I do not have personal experience with them but a lifetime warranty on an American made product sounds like the way to go.

Did you check to see if the wheel is bent and not the axle?

Factory axle flanges bend like butter. I bent mine the first week i went to 35s. I got G2 chromo on sale.... i would recommend buying a set that is already assembled because that makes the job much easier.


I have been driving and wheeling about 30,000 - 40,000 miles on the G2 with 35s and 37s with no issues.

Thanks, I found these on fleabay. Alloy USA 12156 Rear Axle Shaft Kit for 07-14 Jeep Wrangler | eBay

Only one side is bent, do I have to change both sides or can I wait and change the other side later on?

Thanks

rob_engineer

you only need to change the bent side.

So, my new axles are not going to be on the island on time. I am planning a vacation to one of the outislands and was planning on carrying the Wrangler. How safe would it be to drive her with the slightly bent axle? I will be doing about 4-500 miles, mostly on the road and maybe 10 miles off road and beach. The bent axle is very slight, I have had her up to 65mph and cannot feel a thing. Or should I just carry the Defender?

I've been driving around on my rear bent axle shaft for 3 months. That's with 3 off-road trips too. My axle noise is identical to yours, but mine is waaay worse. I get the squeak in right hands turns too, plus it squeaks when I straighten out from a right hand turn... squeaks till I apply the brakes hard enough to make the noise go away. I haven't had any performance issues, i just turn up the radio!!! I have yet to order new shafts, but I'm fairly certainly I can drive indefinitely till I decide to do something about it. Either that or on another off-roading trip. If it's bent, I'm assuming it's been weakened, so a broken axle shaft is in my near future. Oh well. No biggie.

Do I have to pack the bearings with grease before I install? I kinda think not as the axles have oil. Thanks
