In today’s video, the good folks at Moser Engineering are going to explain axle splines—what they’re for, why they matter, and how to count or measure them.
On the axle shaft, you will see a series of smaller peaks and valleys cut into the end of the shaft, which are designed to mate to the rear differential. Moser has a line of popular C-clip axles with a spline count ranging from 26 splines to 40 splines.
Generally, the more power your engine makes, the higher spline count you need to transfer that power to your wheels effectively. Learn more here:
I was into this issue and tired to tinker around to check if its possible but co https://kodi.software/ uldnt get it done. Now that i have seen the way you did it, thanks guys
with
regards
I just bought a 1963 Oldsmobile Cutlass F-85 which has 4 bolt wheels. I would like to change the axles, backing plates and drums to a 5 bolt pattern to use stock GM wheels for daily driving and no racing. The axle housing appears to be specific to the suspension design. Is this something that you can supply? Thx, Bill
How do you cut the splines in your axles?
Hey Chip, not sure where you’re located, but I’d suggest you start calling around to local machine shops—find one that specializes in axles and they should be able to help you out.
