Spidertrax 69 Jeep Front Axle - One More Way
CTM not only offers heavy-duty 300M U-joints, the company cuts custom shafts made from 300M for nearly any application, including the Dodge stubs we needed. The CTM shafts are machined to turn 45 degrees.
We opted to go with a full hydraulic steering setup on our Jeep, but lots of options are available. We had Spidertrax mount the 2.5-inch PSC balanced cylinder. Aurora 3/4-inch XM and XB series rod ends were used for tie-rod ends.
Jack Graff assembled our CTM U-joints, stub shafts and 4340 Yukon inner axles using a large brass drift as a hammer. Everything is heat treated for strength prior to assembly. Our U-joints and stub shafts have also been cryogenically frozen for that little extra bit of strength. The Yukon inner shafts needed to be ground slightly to accommodate 45-degree steering.
Once the housing was in our hands, we started in on the detail work. For a third member we got in contact with Randy's Ring & Pinion for its new aluminum 9-inch piece. Made from 2014 T6 aluminum with beefed-up forged bearing caps, it's a strong, reasonably priced, lightweight third member. Yukon gears, install kit, billet aluminum Daytona pinion support, and a 35-spline ARB Air Locker were installed by Randy's, making it ready to drop into the new housing.
