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 Regards, Alan Blaine Blaine Fabrication 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 (IMG:http://www.skyhighway.com/~bfpix2/IMG_1478.JPG) (IMG:http://www.skyhighway.com/~bfpix2/IMG_1479.JPG) (IMG:http://www.skyhighway.com/~bfpix2/IMG_1480.JPG) This post has been edited by Blainefab: Apr 27 2015, 04:50 PM |

Alan ...
I would prefer the axles for a 98+ car in order to aleviate the wheel fitment issue. Is it too late to make that change? |

Alan,
what was the answer on the LS1 vs LT1 axle length? I need to put my name on the list, I've got an LT1 and shipping would be to 50219. If the LS1 axles really are 1/2" wider it wouldn't hurt my feelings when running the Z06 rears, I could go without spacers, but not sure I would like what that would do when running the WS6 wheels with stickies. |

Jared - The LS1 axles arrived yesterday, and they are the same length as the LT1, as I expected. So the only difference LT1 vs LS1 is the slightly larger OD of the hub on the LT1 part. If your Z06 wheels have already been clearanced to fit the LT1 axle hub then there would be no advantage in the LS1 axles. Your choice - price is the same.

QUOTE (Glenn98ZM6 @ Nov 9 2006, 04:42 PM) difference between the 93-96 and 98-02 is the center hub that fits into the wheel, correct? so if i ordered the 98-02's to work w/ my 95, i could more easily use the 98-02 wheels, right? Glenn - Yep, LS1 just have a smaller OD hub so fit 98-02 and Corvette wheels without clearancing them. LT1 or LS1 Axle package $185 plus UPS gnd to central TX $39 = $224 PayPal to: ablaine (at) cruzio (dot) com (Mitch paid less shipping 'cause I used the shipping weight of the 3rd gen axles to me to base my quote on - turns out, after adding the 1.7" longer 4th gen axles, and the studs and nuts that the UPS bill is a little higher. SO if you buy the package, Mitch owes you a beer, on me ;-) ) Thanks! Regards, Alan Blaine Blaine Fabrication 831 427-3296 |

Gotta be fair. |

BTW, are oversize or custom-fit C-clips available, and would that help at all with knockback?

This is the only reference I've seen re custom Cclips: http://corner-carvers.com/forums/showpost....amp;postcount=5 It's likely that the axle makers offer them but I have not looked or called them. |

Superior raised their prices by $10 per axle, so I updated the opening post of this thead. Superior/ARP/Gorilla package price is now $205 plus tax and shipping.

Alan,
Correct me here but I thought the difference was 26 and 28 spline axels for the LT vs LS cars. I'm going to be getting some here soon, do you have the EVO axels from them as well or they still working on them for LS cars? Bret This post has been edited by SStrokerAce: Jun 2 2007, 06:10 AM |
