Ashcroft Heavy Duty Rear Half Shafts (axle shafts, or drive shafts)

Ashcroft's new generation of Heavy Duty halfshafts are made from "4340" Alloy Steel.

These shafts are made to fit the later "slim" outer hub flange (15mm), often called "859" flanges, such as our Drive Flange - Heavy Duty - FTC859A (RUC105200).

The halfshafts and drive members we provide are warranted against BREAKAGE, not against wear caused by 'fretting corrosion' of the spline/drive member interface. This 'fretting corrosion' is a direct result of lack of lubrication, a design fault, and is common on grease filled hubs. Ashcroft recommend removing the half shaft seal to allow oil to migrate along the half shaft to keep the spline lubricated.  RoverWare prefer to manually grease the splines, as removing the seal increases the chance of oil migrating to the bearings and washing out the grease.

Supplied with a FIVE YEAR replacement warranty against breakage.

Fits:

D1, RRC, Defender.
