Default What Rear Axles???

So I believe I have a bent rear flange and am looking to replace my rear shafts.

I'm running a 2013 sport. These

I have read that some have better warranties, some come pre-pressed...

What is the best option for shafts and how many splines do I go with in everyone's opinion?

Thx in advance!!!

I can only see 10 year warranty. Maybe I'm missing it. But to throw another option, my Alloy USA axles were a bit less and 10 year warranty.

Haven't had much luck finding Ten Factory pre-pressed.

You guys have a part number that I might be able to use?

I'm running ECGS they came bearings pressed and shipped for $415. If I wasn't under a time constraint, I would have called NR4x4 to see what pricing was on Ten Factory, but time was crucial and ECGS had them to be in under 48 hours.

I'm running ten factory from northridge. They are great. Not one problem.

I thought my flange was bent when I bought them. Turns out it was an axle bearing. I saved the factory axles and will rebuild at my leisure. Bearings are pretty cheap. I'd try that first. The sign of a bearing problem is squeaking. I was told that one advantage to moving to a full float axle on the rear was much stronger bearings.

I also just did the 10 factory and had NorthRidge 4x4 press on new tone rings and bearings before shipping. Talk about an easy way to go!
