Axle 31 Spline 28.50in .960in OD Solid

The Axle 31 Spline 28.50in .960in OD Solid is a full-floating axle shaft engineered for vehicles requiring high-strength drivetrain components. At 28.5 inches in length with a 31-spline carrier connection and 24-spline drive flange, this solid steel axle delivers the structural rigidity needed for demanding off-road recovery, towing, and high-load applications where axle failure is not an option.

The .960-inch outer diameter provides optimal balance between strength and weight. The 31-spline-to-carrier interface ensures secure engagement with minimal backlash, while the 24-spline drive flange integrates with corresponding differential components. Manufactured from solid steel with a natural finish, this axle shaft resists corrosion typical of phosphate or bare steel when properly maintained. The solid construction eliminates hollow-shaft failure modes, making it the preferred choice for vehicles subjected to shock loads, mud terrain recovery operations, or modified powerplants that exceed factory torque specifications.

This component suits heavy-duty applications including full-size truck repairs, agricultural equipment drivetrain restoration, and off-road vehicle maintenance. Buyers integrating this axle shaft should verify spline count compatibility with their carrier and differential before installation. At 7.29 pounds, the shaft's weight is minimal relative to the load-bearing capacity it provides. Proper installation with thread-locking compound on the drive flange bolts and torque-wrench application to manufacturer specifications ensures longevity and safety.
