    Description

This rear axle kit is built to handle off-road conditions and provides higher power outputs than your factory shaft. Make the switch to Nitro Gear & Axle for better and more reliable off and on-road travels.

    Heavy Duty Construction. The Nitro Gear & Axle Rear Shaft is manufactured using Chromoly steel that has been heat-treated then induction hardened, making it 20-30% stronger than the OE counterparts. It has been CNC-machined to exact OE specifications for a precision fit.

    Five-year Manufacturers Warranty. Nitro Gear & Axle Rear Chromoly Axles are warranted against manufacturing defects for 5 years. These products are also covered for Breakage. The Shaft must be broken. Worn, twisted, or bent axles are not warrantable. For more details, kindly visit the manufacturer’s website.
