The completed assembly of differential, shafts, bearings and seals necessary to transfer power from the driveshaft to the wheels.
Axles are the closest component of your vehicle to the ground, therefore they take the most abuse. As you go through rough terrain and bounce on rocks, etc., your axle takes the heat. Breaking an axle is the last thing you want to do because it can leave you stranded with no power being transferred to your wheels. If you plan on having a dependable four wheel drive vehicle, that will take you where no stock vehicle can, it is important that you understand the functions of your vehicle and it’s components. A strong axle is a good way to begin upgrading your vehicle. Remember to research what works best for you and your vehicle before making a decision.
As vehicles become more capable and trails become more challenging, the need for improved performance and increased strength becomes even more important. That is the primary reason why customers demand high performance parts and components from TeraFlex. The improvements to our axles sent the competition reeling. We wanted to provide an extreme axle for Jeep sized vehicles that would handle the abuse regularly thrown at them.
In addition to that, we engineered a Constant Radius Deisgn (CRD) smooth bottom, which provides improved strength, and increased ground clearance that is virtually unaffected by pinion angle. Its design forced the competition to follow, because of the innovative features that the design provides.
To achieve this constant radius design, the axle cover line is rotated 20 degrees on the CRD50 end- 35 degrees on the CRD60 end. This provides two immediate advantages. It maximizes ground clearance when used with a higher pinion angle, and also keeps the differential cover from coming in contact with any potential obstacles ensuring that all differential components are protected.
Tera axles have been tested by the toughest rockcrawlers in the industry and have proven themselves to be the axle that can be trusted in the heat of competition, or on the trail. Tera CRD60R axles are the first true innovation in the axle industry in over 30 years. They are engineered and designed to maximize protection, performance and durability.
