Before you pull the old shaft
A rear axle shaft carries engine torque from the differential out to the wheel hub, so it takes the full load of acceleration, trail braking and rock crawling. Wear usually shows first in the splines, where a twisted or pitted shaft can slip under load or knock when the throttle changes direction. The hub end and the wheel stud holes also take heavy stress, so inspect them whenever the shaft is out.
Before you buy, compare the spline count and overall length of the shaft you are removing, and confirm the side because driver and passenger shafts are different parts. Many owners replace the axle seal and bearing at the same time, since the shaft must come out to reach them. Check the differential fluid after the job and look for leaks at the seal, because a correctly sized shaft can still leak if the seal is worn.
- Inspect the splines for twisting or pitting
- Check the axle seal for leaks after installation
- Re-torque wheel studs after the first drives
