So after my break this past weekend i am in the market for a set of shafts
i DO NOT want RCV's because i am scared i will grenade my differentials
Anyones suggestions and opinions are great

 

Well even though you say you dont want RCV's they would be my choice.

Second choice would be Ten Factory Chromoly front shafts and CTM U-joints.

We have sold a ton of the RCV's and nobody has called back and told us they grenaded there diff. I am putting a set of RCV's in my 4 door next week.

EDIT: For the rears the Evolution series axles from superior.

I like my superior axle shafts, I don't recall the series but they have a nice warranty

 

i mean what can break on an RCV besides the ring and pinion
i dont know i just feel like that could be asking for trouble

 

Yeah but they use the smaller u-joint. And in my opinion is a waste .

David

 

The shaft or the Joint. Same as any other shaft they are still made of steel.

Most the time when the Darn u-joint breaks it takes out both axle shafts " inner and outer" and a Ball joint or Both.

I have posted this many times in the past but I dont see a reason to build a axle with a weak link. We rarely see a ring and pinion break. Does it happen sure. But the ring and pinion is really strong.

David

 

Im pretty sure this has been debated somewhere, but are the RCV axle shafts compatible with the dynatrac prosteer ball joints?

 

I would think that after the axles, the drive shaft would be the weak link. Just don't build 1350 driveshafts along with the RCVs.

I asked my local shop this question about the weak link. Their theory was that even with RCVs the weak point will be the axle shaft itself. That'd you probably break the shaft off at the splines before you start exploding r&p or poping 1310 joints.

But that's all theory....

 

Are Alloy USA good ones

 

Those and Ten Factory are basically the same.

The Ten factory Brand has a better warranty.
