new_mw_882Having the proper drivetrain is critical to any off-roading vehicle; without it, you might find yourself stuck up a creek without a paddle if a breakage were to occur. Mark Williams Enterprises addresses that fear with its new axles, built to last for the trail ahead with aircraft-grade alloy steel (either 4340 or 300M) that’s been heat treated and coated in black oxide. Details can be found below.

Official Release:

These axles are designed for off-road racing applications that utilize the Wide 5 (3/4 to 1 ton truck type hubs), Dana 60/70 (and most Dana 80) hubs, and 14-Bolt style full floating hubs. The 40-spline drive flanges are manufactured using aircraft quality alloy steel and are heat-treated and black oxide coated. The axles are available in standard 4340 steel or high strength 300M steel.

The center section spline is available for any spool/carrier requirements. These parts are designed to work with factory axle hub bolts or studs. Covers are anodized aluminum with low-profile sealing o-rings. All sets feature MW true involute splines, and are heat-treated, polished, and shot peened to prevent stress crack propagation. The complete kit is comprised of shafts, flanges, caps and fasteners, o-rings, and retaining rings. Custom produced for each specific application with quick delivery.
