Title: 8" REAR END AXLES

CAN YOU TELL THE 28 SPLINE FROM 31 SPLINE BY LOOKING AT THE END OF AXLE?
WAS TOLD THAT IF THE END HAS large oval dent on end of axle = 28 spline

If there are lathe centers & 2 drive pin holes = 31 spline

If this is correct could someone post photos of both or at least the 28 spline Thanks!

Hello superman88,
You have been MIS-INFORMED!!!
The Ford 8" rear never came with anything BUT 28 spline axels.

Gotta go now!! Me and my buddies are going "SNIPE" hunting!!! ;D

Hope I get a 10 pointer!!! :iloveu:

100% correct there Tony, however the simple answer is "Yes" (if it fits in the 8" housing/carrier, it's a 28 spline).

Check out the FAQ section for the thread on these axles.

Welcome.
