Axle shafts for FF rear question (1 Viewer)

[CruiserMoose]

I searched every thread I could find and most of the info was older so I guess I am just checking in to see if there is any new news.

I just picked up and installing a FF rear axle in my 76 FJ40. The axle shafts flanges seem to be a little beat up. I think they will be OK but just wanted to check to see if there are any choices these days for moly shafts for the FF. I think I read about new moly flanges but that must be for something else, as far as I can see the shafts and flanges are all one piece correct?

I plan on putting new studs (ARP?) and pins in the hub for added strength. Is there anything else I can do to make sure things stay together? I know that any axle can break, I just want to do what I can while I have it off and apart.

Thanks everyone!

Someone on here had PP make some FF shafts. Forget who, but I think it was posted in his elocker thread... maybe Fast Eddy? Or Volcano Cruiser?

FWIW I wouldn't worry too much about the flanges being beat up.

I've considered doing this... After sheering off some bolts I'd tried using... However, the newer set of studs seems to be holding up fine though.
