Looking foe opinions from those members who have used both sizes of axles Is there a huge difference in strength between 30 and 35 spline axles. thoughts please and
YES I'm building a Dana 60 for a Abody and the differentials I'm looking at have either 30 or 35 spline side gears that is why I asked the question, thanksSo are you talking about a 8 3/4 or a Dana, if your using a 8 3/4 then your only option is a spool and not the best IMO for street driving, if your taking it to the track then a spool is a great way to go, No Sure Grips are made in 35 Spline for the
8 3/4, if your Building a Dana then with 35 Spline, you have more option on street driving & Track driving. if you want to stick with your 8 3/4 you can buy stronger than stock axel's through Strange Engineering or even Moser, yes Big deference in the 35 Spline or even 40 for the Dana.
Then 35 Spline All The Way Bud ! they make a true track that's bullet proof for street and Track use, Good luckYES I'm building a Dana 60 for a Abody and the differentials I'm looking at have either 30 or 35 spline side gears that is why I asked the question, thanks
the 35 spline axle is a much bigger diameter rhan the 30 so it is strongerI`m jacking this thread for an education.le
If 18 spline is supposedly stronger than a 23 on a trans input shaft, why is a higher count spline stronger on an axle shaft?
signed, confused.
I thought the splined end would be bigger? is this so??35 spline is not bigger according to Cass. aka Doctor Diff. as the take the same green bearing. 40 spline is way bigger, u need to use Ford axle ends and brakes to use them. 23 spline is a 1 in shaft. 18 spline is a 1 1/4 shaft. Kim
Wait your saying 30 and 35 Spline are the same size ? That would be a Negative, 35 is much bigger, I'm running 35 in myNo, They are the same size. Kim
so whats the advantage are they the same strength or its the bearing end where the difference is?No, They are the same size. Kim
I'm not sure what your looking at, but when I ordered my Axels it came with new bearings already pressed on, wish I had pics to show you, I know the outer diameter is the same maybe that's what your looking at ??So, if there bigger, how do they take the same bearing? or am I missing something. Kim
i dont know i thought 35 spline would be bigger diameter? on the spline endSo, if there bigger, how do they take the same bearing? or am I missing something. Kim
yes i think they diI’m under the assumption that they both take the same bearing. Kim
yes but they may be different on the spline end tapered ??So, then if they take the same bearing,the shafts have to be the same size. Kim
I agree Kim but what about the spline end? wouls the 35 have finer splines but the same diameter as the 30??The 35 spline can’t be bigger or the bearing would not fit. Kim
