I've put together an upgrade package for the 3rd/4th gen Fbods - 3rd gens especially will break axles under the stress of RR duty, and I've cracked a 4thgen axle. Dragstrip use with slicks will break them, too.

These axles are direct replacement, use OEM wheel bearing and seals (not included) and fit any of the popular diffs (also not included).

Package includes:
1 Pair Yukon Replacement Series axles for 93-02 4th gen non TC cars or TCS cars
10 ARP 100-7708 2.5" long wheel studs, pressed in place
10 Dorman short, open bulge lugnuts with 19mm (same as 3/4") hex

Cost is (call, prices vary with application) plus shipping plus CA sales tax on orders shipped to CA address.

for the front, extra set of 10 ARP studs $32
for the front, extra set of 10 Dorman lugnuts $16

Extra long 3.25" ARP 100-7713 studs are available, set of 10 $72

questions/comments PM me or email me at ablaine (at) cruzio (dot) com or call me at 831 427-3296 evenings PST

edit: Superior raised prices by $10 per axle, so I had to raise the package price from $185 to $205
edit: another price increase, to $215 for the package
edit: added pics of my cracked OEM axle - I found this after a rather spirited session at Sears Point. Glad it didn't let go there! The crack goes all the way around and thru the hub flange, and has started to twist off.
edit: the yearly price increase happened: new price for the package is $231 + changed to Dorman nuts
edit: price increase to $350
edit: price drop to $295
edit: revise pricing on ARP/Dorman
edit: change to Yukon, revise pricing

Reviving an old thread here, Alan, what do you currently offer for a third gen axle package. I'll be using an Auburn Racers diff so I'll need 28 spline. Thanks

I'll check pricing on that - so it's a 10 bolt, I believe late (90-92?) 3rd gen? Not a Dana, and not a 9bolt, right?

Exactly, a 10 bolt. The later ones (I think you're about right on the year range) got the 28 spline so I think there would be an offering for the third gen length with the 28 spline. Mine currently is a 26 spline, but the Racers diff only takes 28 spline, so it will be a good upgrade anyways. Thank you.

Yukon lists the 28 spline, 30 3/8" length axle 10bolt for the 91-92 Camaro - they are the same 1541H alloy steel as the 4th gen axles. Same price, listed below. My disti has local stock. UPS ground shipping to Reno $25, total $460 PayPal to: ablaine@cruzio.com add extra studs/nuts/etc for no extra shipping cost.

or, 91-92 3rd gen 28 spline disc brake

My rear end was originally a drum brake rear. I have used drum to disc conversion plates from flynbyeperformance, will this matter? Was there a difference in axle shafts between a drum and a disc rear?

My disti says they have no separate part number for the drum brake axle, and they have an app note that says 'disc brake axle works on drum brake'. The only difference may be OD of the hub will be different in order to index on a drum vs a disc.

Does the flynbye conversion change the hub dimension, or just adapt the backing plates to the caliper abutments?

I've got a question, Alan. I got those 1/2" spacers you sent me last week and I'm wondering if the 2.5" ARP studs are adequate. I wish I had a pic. The stud goes all the way through the nut with about ~1/16" or maybe 2 threads showing. To me that looks like about 1" of thread engagement.... Is that enough or do I need to get the longer ARP studs? I figure it is but I thought I'd ask.
