Front/Steering Axles

At Diamond Axles, we concentrate on having a multitude of options available for your front axle needs. We can build your axle with a variety of tubing diameters and thicknesses to suit weight, tire size, and strength requirements your vehicle has. Below you'll find many of the options available to you for center sections and outers, allowing you to combine them in any way to form a complete axle assembly.

Centers:	Outers:
Toy 8"	Toyota (birfield based)  - 6 lug
Toy 8" E-Locker	Dana 44 balljoint  - 5, 6, or 8 lug
Toy 8.4"/T100  - 30 or 35 spline	Dana 60 King Pin  - 5, 6, or 8 lug
FJ40/60/80 9.5"
Ford 9"  - 31 or 35 spline

All of Diamond Axle's front axles are only available with disk brakes.

Something New in Toyota Front Axles:

We hate leaking axles. To eliminate the issue of leaking knuckles on toyota front axles, we are now including new seals next to the 3rd member. These seals ride on 30 spline Longfield shafts or our 27 spline inners and keep the gear oil from getting to the stock problematic knuckle seal. They fit tighter, and with a larger lip. The backside, what you can't see, guides the inner shaft into the differential so assembly is VERY easy, even on the long side!.

New Option - Big Fill/Inspection Cap ($50):

Allows easy filling of the diff by simply pouring in gear oil. Also, (as shown below) removal of the cap allows for easy view of the ring gear without disassembly. This way ring gears found with chipping can be replaced prior to complete failure.

Redesigned knuckle ball gussets! Modification to Toyota Front Housings for greater knuckle ball strength. At time of build, we can add these gussets to your knuckle balls. This greatly increases the strength of the necked down area of the knuckle balls, preventing damage due to jumping and extremely hard rock crawling.

These new gussets not only brace top to bottom, but because of the unique shape on the bottom gusset, add support front to back as well! These new gussets can be added to your axle housing to prevent any damage to the knuckle balls, for years of trouble free service in extreme conditions! Cost: $75 installed.
