New feature on our axle stubs from Gforce Engineering Awhile back we had a customer ask us how much runout he should be getting when he put a dial indicator on his cv joints after bolting them to the axle stubs.
Although a little run out isnt going to hurt anything and we've never had a problem with vibrtations from this, I decided that if there is room for improvement then we will make the stub to cv joint fitment perfect.
What we did was machine a recieving area in the axle stubs so that the cv joint and grease cap gets perfectly centered in the axle stub when you bolt them together.
It adds a few minutes of machine time to every part but what you will be getting is a perfectly centered axle assembly.
We will be incorporating this new design feature into all of our axle stubs over the next month.
Thanks
