Count the splines.
It will either be a 28 or 31 spline. I believe that most open rear ends used 28 spline and the limited slip rear ends used 31 spline.
no.
You should be able to use a 12 bolt. Check your spline count. Standard spline count is 30, you can change the axles to a 35 spline and gain as much as 89% strength. There are many vendors to help you with ordering the right parts. Let them know your use and horse power.
I believe 89's and up have 28 spline axles.
A spline shaft is a cylindrical shaft with grooves or splines cut into its surface, allowing for a secure connection with other components, typically enabling torque transfer between parts. In contrast, an axle shaft is a type of shaft specifically designed to transmit power from the vehicle's differential to its wheels, allowing for rotation and movement. While both can feature splines for connection, the primary function of an axle shaft is related to vehicle propulsion, whereas spline shafts serve broader applications across various machinery and mechanical systems.
180 torque lbs too much and you F up the hub Bearing BE CAREFUL !! PS when sliding the 1/2 shaft spline in the bearing It is best to FREEZE the SPLINE in the refrigerator this shrinks the spline and slides in MUCH BETTER DO NOT BEAT IT IN !! you can damage the bearing like that !!
Type your answer here... you will need to take the yoke off the front diff. and count the teeth on it. if it has 28 teeth its a 28 spline or if it has 30 teeth its a 30 spline
3.73 conventional axle ( non - limited slip )
It will not go together, you will not be able to get the retaining plate to match up with the bolt holes until the splines are meshed together.
You can tell if your spline is not working correctly if you notice issues such as uneven or distorted curves, gaps between the spline and the control points, or unexpected behavior when manipulating control points. Additionally, if the spline fails to interpolate or approximate the intended shape accurately, it may indicate a problem. Visual artifacts or irregularities in rendering also suggest malfunctioning. Finally, if the spline does not respond as expected to input adjustments, it may need troubleshooting.
Saves input shaft spline
the purpose of the spline is to support the weight of your head
