Does spline count matter?
Does spline count matter?
Higher spline counts gives the axle more surface to transfer the load of the torque from the differential. There is also the side advantage that an axle with more splines will also be physically bigger. At least in most modern axles that use similarly sized spline teeth.
How much horsepower can a Moser 12 bolt handle?
Building a Moser 12-Bolt Rearend to Handle 550 lb-ft of Torque.
How many splines are on a jeep Dana axle?
They have 10 bolts on the cover plate. The stock shafts typically have 27 splines (though you can count yours to verify, of course). Here above is a picture of a cover from ARB, Part ARB-0750002B. Notice it has ten holes (the one larger hole near the bottom is to drain the housing of oil without moving the cover).
What do the numbers mean on a rear axle?
The axle code, if on the differential, is comprised of one or two letters for 1964-’70 models, followed by a three-digit build date. If the rear was originally anti-spin, the first letter will be an “X;” the second letter will be the axle ratio; and the following numbers represent the day of the year the axle was produced.
When did Borg Warner use spin resistant axles?
1969-1974 used the Borg Warner Spin Resistant (# 2881343). This unit utilized a spring-preloaded cone friction arrangement for the locking action. Axle end thrust is taken by the cross shaft. This Sure Grip appeared in ‘489’ assemblies and 70 and later ‘741’/’742′ assemblies.
Can a rear axle be interchanged with a passenger axle?
Axles can be interchanged within housings of the same width. The passenger side axle has a threaded adjuster to set axle shaft end play. 4) There was a slight dimensional change in axle shaft length when the Sure Grip design changed.
How can you tell how many splines are on an axle?
All of the power from the driveline is transferred back to the gears that rotate whatever is in contact with the axles, so having the correct spline count that matches the power level being produced is critical. To find out how many splines the axle you want to replace has, just count the individual ridges on the end of the axle, it’s that easy!
What is the spline of an axle Moser?
Kip Hayden from Moser Engineering goes over axle spline basics and other items in this informative video from Moser. The spline of an axle is the teeth or peak that are machined on the end of the axle and mesh with the differential or spool inside the pumpkin of the rearend.
The axle code, if on the differential, is comprised of one or two letters for 1964-’70 models, followed by a three-digit build date. If the rear was originally anti-spin, the first letter will be an “X;” the second letter will be the axle ratio; and the following numbers represent the day of the year the axle was produced.
When do the splines turn on a performance car?
The acceleration process of a performance car begins when you push the throttle pedal down and ends when the tires apply the power, but there are a few stops in between these two points. One of the last places horsepower passes through is the rearend, as the gears turn the axles via their splines that the tires are attached to.
