You can buy the axles individually, or in kits that come with bearings, seals, and wheels studs—like this one for a GM 8.875″, 12-bolt (car) application.

When you start adding bigger tires or creating a lot of horsepower, don’t overlook the importance of an axle upgrade as well—many track days and trail rides have been cut short by sheared splines or bent axle shafts.

That’s why the axle aces over at Motive Gear TEN Factory have direct replacement factory axle shafts that slip right into the place of the OE axles, yet will stand up to much more abuse.

That’s because these TEN Factory axles are made from heat-treated, high-manganese 1541H or 4140 chromoly steel. Better still, the axles are precision-machined to offer a direct, OEM-style fit.

You can get these shafts separately, but TEN Factory also packages the axle shafts in kit form that includes all the bearings and seals you’ll need. The kits even include press-in wheel studs, too.

These axle shafts are available for pretty much every common performance and off-road axle out there, including:

  • Dana 30, 35, 44, and 60
  • Dana 30 and 44 for Jeep Wrangler JK
  • GM 7.5″, 8.2″, 8.5″, 8.875″ passenger car, 8.875″ truck
  • Ford 7.5″, 8.8″, 9″, and 9.75″
  • Chrysler 8.25″
