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

Are the studs the factory stud thread and pitch?

Mitch - Yes, the installed ARP studs (100-7708) are factory thread and pitch, but 2.5" long. Lugnuts are interchangeable with the fronts.

For another $14 I can include 10 more lugnuts for the front, and for another $28 can include 10 more ARP studs for the front.

For those that buy the axle upgrade and extra studs/nuts for the front hubs - ship me your front hubs and I'll press the studs in (straight ;-) ) for no extra labor charge, just return shipping.

If you're local and walk in the door with hubs/axles (off the car, of course) and buy the ARP studs and Gorilla nuts I'll press them in N/C.



On the full floater deal, I'm looking into it, but Al's estimate of $600 in parts for the whole setup looks pretty spot on, and the failures I've seen on RR cars have been of the shaft or hub outboard of the wheel bearing, not the spline end or Cclip flange. The reduction of end play on the full floater is what you would get for the big difference in cost vs just an axle upgrade.
