Re: Axel Diameters
Do yourself a favor and always use grade 5 or 8 bolts or something better anywhere you can. Forget threaded rod and any of that mystery metal stuff, unless it is very large.
Although heavy, we've more often than not used 5/8" driven axles with bearings on each end. 4 years, never a single drivetrain failure. This is using regular shaft with a keyway, which is not, to my knowledge, heat treated in any way.
