These axles are bigger, beefier, and stronger. Demon Heavy Duty Axles are built using larger CV joints and shafts, paired with a proprietary dual heat treatment process and a 4340 chromoly steel inner CV cage, giving the axle the edge it needs for superior strength and longevity. The double plunge design delivers 1.5 inches of plunge travel and 40 degrees of articulation at the inboard joint, with 0.5 inches of travel and a 45–47 degree swing range at the outboard joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual heat treated high strength chromoly steel shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner CV

Order both sides if you are doing the pair, and keep the best old shaft as a trail spare.
