Broken Shaft Front Axle
On my 80 axles I am running 4.56 Ring and Pinion, It is runing 35 x 10.50 Boggers. Last event I sheared the ring and pinion, I discounted this as landing on the front wheels on acceleration. Replaced the gears and installed a ARB locker to the front and testing over last week end I broke the front axle. It snapped between the diff and the birfield exactly where the oil seal sits, looked like it was cut with a knife - straight. I am unable to post pictures, but appreciate any advise you can give on this scenario. The axle broke on a mud hole with lockers on. I am hearing about the longfields for the first time in this forum, will this solve my issues. Has anyone heard of a German company manufaturing birfields with needle bearings ??Cheers
