These Yukon Gear & Axle re-gear kits are the first to address the OEM C215 front differential which features a problematic one-piece carrier/ring gear assembly. The...

The point at which thickening is no longer viable is known as the Carrier Break,...

Axle Measuring 101

Axle Measuring 101

Posted by : Evan / Posted on : 14 Mar 2023

How you go about measuring an axle depends on the axle type. Axles with yokes (front axle shafts) are measured from the center of the u-joint bore to the end of the splines. Semi-float and C-clip-equipped axle shafts are measured from the end of the shaft to the outer edge of the mounting flange. Full-float designs are measured from the spline ends to the front surface of the mounting flange....
