We supply a kit that has been referred to as the ultimate CV joint and axle combination. This heavy duty CV axle is a must for the Rover owner that has lockers, bigger tires or just doesn’t want to breakdown on the trail.
Here is a little background on why the Rover axles need to be replaced. The internal parts of the O.E. CV joint are the same size as Dodge Caravan or Dodge Dynasty. Need I say more? The heat treatment is much to hard, made for long-term highway driving not four wheeling. The O.E. axle is 1.030/32 teeth at the CV joint. We have upgraded the axle to 1.161/27 teeth at the CV joint.
The heavy-duty axles are close to the same size as a one-ton Dana 60 axle. The CV joint components have been upgraded to a larger size to accommodate the abuse delivered in extreme off road use.
To address the heat treatment problem, we have used cryogenically stabilized aviation grade alloy steel. The internal parts have been heat treated to Rockwell hardness more suitable for off-road use. The critical internal parts of the CV joint are made from a virtually indestructible material called 300M. Although 300M is very strong in its natural state, we are able to increase its effectiveness through our special performance heat treatment.
