Not really. I guess get some drag radials, launch hard, see what breaks first. If you break an axle, then you probably don't have after market ones.

Realistically, I wouldn't worry about it until it breaks.

Im selling the rear and was told by previous owner they were aftermarket, just want to make sure. I know 9" mosers have a m stamped into the end of the axle, these have a m cast into them?

The center hub of the axle will have sand cast finish to it and machined on an aftermarket axle. Most of the time.

i think they have some type of label on the hub, as said. but if you are selling it, you might as well pull them out when the rear end is out, i'm assuming whoever buys it is going to put in new fluid anyways.
