Motive gear axles
I am working on converting my 68 rear to 5 lug, and will be using conversion axles. I found the below set on summit for $90 each: $180 for the pair. I am just unsure of the quality of motive gear? Does anybody have any feedback on this brand? I don’t mind buying more expensive name brand axles but the price difference is roughly $80 cheaper than moser axles. Thanks for any insight.

Thanks Jason. I might give them a shot as well if I can find some feedback on them.

Re: Motive gear axles
I've used their ring and pinion with no issues. Still have the one I put in my GMC many years ago...

Re: Motive gear axles
I didn't read all the details, do the axles you are looking at specifically fit your 68 rear end AND are for converting to 5 lug??? Just to make sure.
A good friend on mine's son built a 67 and bought the Moser axles, had to call them for the 5 lug conversion... I've heard good things about Motive Gear, here, and from others... |
