These are the Ten Factory Rear Axle Kits. They feature 4140 chromoly material. Depending on the application, Ten Factory engineers each axle and kit for a specific vehicle, and these are considered a “bolt-in” upgrade. These are complete kits that include a left, and right axle shaft, axle bearings and seals, and wheel studs.
Please note that although the bearings are included, they are not pressed on.
Additional features include:
• Wheel studs included (Dorman #610-464)
• Seals included
When I needed to rebuild the rear diff for my Jeep I thought why not upgrade axles at the same time. These were a cost effective solution that have been reliable so far. Time will tell how they hold up but they seem to get good reviews so I think I made a good choice. I didn't have a press so I had the bearings pressed on by Northridge which turned out great. Just be aware it does add a couple days to the shipping time but that was a non issue for me.
The best Jeep money to spend is that for recovery gear or items that keep you from breaking down and getting stranded.
These shafts will NOT leave you shafted!
Ordered with bearings and seals installed. Arrived within a week of ordering. Install took ~3 hours with parking break shoe change and rotating tires as well. Overall quality is good, but cant speak to performance as used less than 100 miles.
Only complaint is that the splines were bent at the corner. Appears to have been dropped. No real concern as I used a file to clean up. No issues with install. See images.
I had a bent axle flange on my stock rubicon axle. These are a great upgrade and with north ridge assembling the assemblies they slid right in. I have been very pleased. I have a 6.2LS motor and these have held up to all the abuse I have thrown at them so far
I bought them already pressed so they would be easy to swap and was it ever! These slid right in! now I can bring my factory shafts with when I'm wheeling to help if I should ever break one.
