Oh!! Some 4340 for my b-day!!!

[caddyman99]

So my second trip of just messing around really found the weak spot on the
d30.....even though they are 297x joints.
Spit a cap, and ff'ed the axel up. So i figured I'd polish the turd:looser: rather than spend big $$$$$$ on a d44 swap.
Close to my b-day anyway.............YAY, happy b-day to me!

Man the super joints are IMPRESSIVE! :flipoff:

No way............really?
The joint, or the axle?

I split the inner shaft right through the middle ripping an ear off.

I think I have a pic around here some place.

NICE!!! That,s what B-days are all about,ME,ME,ME(or is that you,you,you)

 

[KarlVP]

I HIGHLY reccomend you welding those u-joints in. D30 shafts are notorious for either spitting caps, or breaking at the ears. Regardless of metal alloy. Welding the caps in makes both those problems a little less problematic.

Happy B-day :beer:

Now have a few more :beer: :beer: :beer:

...cause it will help you feel better about your turd polishing :fawkdancesmiley:

if your going to weld caps in make sure that that doesn't void the warrenty since if those are yukons they should have a five year warrenty, and those are the super joints right.

Yeah, they are super joints. No chance of spitting a cap, as they use a c-clip design.
And that would void the **** outa the warranty.

I hope you wheel easy.

Don't say I didn't warn ya.

 

[GaryTJ]

with 33's, or even if he goes to 35's these axles should hold up fine. I did not have a problem with my dana 30 until I went to 38's.

Have fun, play hard.

 

[Fattz]

lol........uh, no. :corn:

[Fattz]

wow that was a pretty clean break how long have you wheeled with those USA's? so does bobby make d44 shafts for broncos as well???

 

[97zjvinny]

I broke one just like that Kat. This is a Yukon shaft 4340 :haha:

 

[MarcW]

Those yukons reccomended for street use? i thought the u joints with brass bushings werent meant for highway use.

 

[TOPWOP]

they have two different u joints. one has the brass and the other is like all the rest.
