if you can afford it, wouldn't be a bad move to replace both rear axle's whilst your at it

ive twisted a couple of rear axles so far, and at the moment your only option is to buy second hand ones,
or genuine if you can afford that,

there is talk of Cromolly rears but they will be along way off yet,

if it were me id replace the twisted one and keep driving it

Not really....can have a custom shafts cut. Not a big deal if shop has the equipment. But expensive.

i do know you can get custom axles turned, i should have mentioned for the cost, i personally will run factory until there is a produced bolt in alternative, as cost is a factor for myselfm

hey I am not buying them either! But they can be made, that is all my point was. Heard you can also get "strengthened" R&P made.

i have tried hi-tuff axles but no luck ,they snapped ,we could of tried others but to hard to test. we think the up and down flexing was the cause . any contact details on the other types of after market stronger axles ? running GU rear diff.
