Gen 1 bent rear axle

[racingtodreams yt]

Hello, so I found that my rear axles on my 2013 Ford raptor are bent. I don’t know how I even did it but I cannot figure out if they are 34 or 35 spline being that both say they are for my truck.

in Other news I’ll be pulling the out this weeken does anyone have and tips on which 2 buy?

Thanks all.

A bent axle infers that the axle tubes are bent, not the axle shafts themselves. The axle shafts can shear/break, but I can’t say I’ve ever seen one “bend”. Can you clarify what you’re referring to?

Yea I’m not To shure all I know is there is a slight wheel hop in the l left rear. I had my diff rebuilt and I was told my axle shafts are bent.

Likely at the hub/flange/bearing area. That’s where the jump impact loads are greatest.

They switched from 34 to 35 at some point. I think the 2012s+ have the 35 spline count axles.

I'd pull them and count the splines to make sure.
