Alum Drive Flange Wide 5 5 Bolt w/Steel Spl Insrt

The Alum Drive Flange Wide 5 5 Bolt w/Steel Spl Insrt is a precision differential component engineered for high-performance automotive applications requiring robust axle assembly. This aluminum drive flange with steel spline insert serves as the critical interface between the axle shaft and differential carrier, designed for vehicles running Wide 5 bolt patterns common in performance and classic hot rod builds. Built to withstand demanding torque loads, this flange delivers the reliability needed for serious street and track applications where stock components fall short.

Manufactured by Strange Oval, a trusted name in differential and axle assembly components, this drive flange features a black anodized aluminum cap paired with a hardened steel spline insert rated for 24-spline engagement. The aluminum construction reduces unsprung weight while maintaining structural integrity, while the steel insert protects against spline wear under repeated acceleration cycles and aggressive cornering loads. The Wide 5 bolt pattern provides superior clamping force distribution across five mounting points, ensuring concentricity and eliminating lateral play that compromises handling and tire wear. The 1.17 lb weight and compact 6.4 x 3.8 x 15.7-inch footprint integrate seamlessly into existing differential housings without modification.

This component is essential for builders upgrading to Strange Oval axle assemblies, Ford 9-inch differentials configured for performance duty, or any platform requiring Wide 5 flange compatibility. Installation demands proper spline alignment and torque sequencing to specification—failure to follow assembly procedures risks spline shearing under load. Technicians and serious enthusiasts rely on this flange when rebuilding differentials for bracket racing, road course competition, or high-powered street applications where factory components cannot handle increased power delivery. Each flange ships individually and pairs with matching axle shafts and carrier components for complete assembly.
