I have a Dana 30 with 30 spline, alloy shafts. (I bought the axle with the shafts already installed).
I am interested in getting a set of trail spare axle shafts, but don't want to spend the money for a set of spare alloys.
I figured the Rubi 44, stock 30 spline shafts would work. I went and looked at a set and compared them to the shafts out of my axle. The drivers side (short one) were pretty much exactly the same size, but the long ones were about 1/4 inch different.
The Rubi 44 shaft was about 1/4 inch shorter than the alloy D30 shaft. From the yoke down, everything lines up the same... just the spline section of the Rubi 44 shafts are about 1/4 inch shorter. It would definately fit, but is it ok that the splines are 1/4 shorter?
Does anyone know if there is a stock vehicle that would have 30 spline shafts that would work in a Dana 30?
Thanks
