Re: Live Axle vs Dead Axle
We were a staunch defender of dead axles up until 2009 when 1/2" hex bearing became available because the keys on our shafts were always the weakest point of the system.
Once the AM hex bearings came out we switched over because we could use hex shafts which allowed us greater flexibility in our designs while still maintaining a good torque transfer.
Our designs have taken great advantage of the use of Hex now that we have that ability.
