Rear axle shafts
« on: Jan 12, 2017, 12:50:25 PM »
I'm looking to upgrade the rear axle shafts in my yoda. From a bit of searching all I can find are the Yukon 4340 rears and longfield branded trailgear shafts. Are there any other options? From what I can find yukon is lifetime warrenty and trailgear is only 12 months

Nitro's are cut to fit which is nice. Are you breaking stock shafts often?

I havnt broken a shaft yet. But it's going to happen at some point. Used parts in my area are getting really expensive and by the time I replace a few stock shafts I could have bought some good aftermarket ones.

Yukon over tg. But I prefer stock shafts seems like they give more where the aftermarket shafts snap, like they're too hard
