Which axles to buy

I got a 1998 axle and was looking on summit racing for some new ones because one of mine is bent. the rear end has ani-lock brakes but obviously I dont use them so can i go with P/N MSR-A102805 (Summit), or do I have to go with P/N MSR-A102806

Re: Which axles to buy

I would suggest these instead. They have rooled, rather than cut, splines, and are heat-treated AFTER splining, instead of BEFORE as is typical with "custom" axles.

I'd just grab an axle off a junked rear end, you'll break the teeth on the ring before you bend or break another axle. I'd save my money if I were you

Re: Which axles to buy

i have the superior axles sofa suggested, no problems with the axles themselves. however when i got the box it looked like someone had tossed it out of a boeing 747 on its way to being delivered. lost a wheel stud in the process.
