GC8 RA8520L5 Axle Shaft Driveshaft Shop 510179

Driveshaft Shop axle shaft — GC8 RA8520L5. This is a build component selected by SPECIFICATION rather than by a single vehicle application: match the frame size, flange, wheel size and A/R to your build. If you are not certain what your build needs, ask a tech before ordering.

What it does

The axle shaft carries torque from the differential to the wheel. Factory shafts twist and snap when power and traction go up, and a broken shaft on a loaded truck is a recovery, not a repair. An upgraded shaft in a stronger alloy takes the torque a built engine now makes.

How to choose

• Match the compressor and turbine wheel sizes to your power target and drive style
• Match the turbine housing A/R and flange to the manifold and downpipe you are running
• Confirm the oil and coolant feed arrangement matches your engine
• Check the part number against the component you are replacing

Fixes

• a twisted or broken axle shaft
• clicking or binding under load
• a build making more torque than the factory shafts were designed for
• a regear or axle rebuild

What's included

• the axle shaft at the spline count and length stated
