    Replacement Axle Assemblies from SurTrack.....

    From the research and hands on checking I've been able to do...
    ...it looks to me like the SurTrack Axle assemblies are the best bet
    replacement for our OEM ones.

    [EDIT...ADDED AFTER "TESTING"....
    ...not recommended for hard off roading...GREAT for normal road use and light trails


    Thye have the same Ball race configuration in the 'Green Cup" as
    OEM does .... NOT the tripod that causes issues when lifted.
    .
    The ball bearings are the same size as OEM, not small as per "Empi" brand...
    ...so no binding issues.
    .
    IMO, this also means that part assemblies will fit rather than the need for full
    replacement if not required.
    .
    Shaft diameter is the only "iffy" spec...
    I measured two OEM shafts, and got 27.2mm in one, and 28mm in the other...??
    The SurTrack clocked in at 27.5mm.
    SurTrack told me that the axle size does vary a bit depending on 'raw' material supplier.
    .
    However...spline diam and spline count were the same...so shouldnt be an issue.


    I have ordered a complete driver/pass side set to be shipped to me and I'll bring
    them to Moab for general inspection/once over.
    .
    They also sell outer only assemblies (Part# IZ-8021..same for both sides)
