RCV axles
http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/i-320 ... e-set.html
Anyone run these? Seems to eliminate a lot of problems with u-joins. $$$ but with the lifetime warranty it might be worth it. Interested to see some set ups.

Re: RCV axles
Apparently you won't need replacement parts cause they are so strong haha. Chromoly axles and you can order w/e length you need. Increased strength in the joins and better angles? I read some where someone was getting 24" travel in the front with these.Jbfab wrote:Thats equal to about 1000 ujoints. Lots of money and i would like to see ya get replacement parts in a pinch.

Re: RCV axles
No worries. Search function on all these forums kinda blows. I always search on google and then type in gofastbroncos.com + whatever I'm searching for.

"The factory racing" runs them on their race truck. That's the only truck I've seen running them.

Re: RCV axles
You can get increased angles by clearancing you slip shaft yoke. Thats the only one that needs the increase. I did it to mine and used a d50 stub so i have a 1350 u joint. Total cost=$35. I can say with parts and paying myself labor i put about 2k into my front end. Those axles would double that and can,t see paying it for the little gain in strength. I would rather replace a u joint then a front diff. If you strengthen one thing you'll find the weak link in anouther.Tchajagos wrote:Apparently you won't need replacement parts cause they are so strong haha.

Re: RCV axles
Brad Lamarche runs them on his short course Bronco. I do not think he had ever had any problems with them.

Re: RCV axles
I believe they are a relatively new offering from RCV as well, which may help explain why there are not many out there yet.

Re: CV jointed -Threads merged.
I bought a set. They are pretty impressive and BIG! I haven't finished my racer yet but needed to clearance inside
my spindles to fit splines thru. 30 spline at hubs, and a little tight inside ball joints....BUT I would buy again cause
they are real nice pieces and the guys at RCV are very helpful with info

Re: CV jointed TTB
I can't understand how to find the correct Spicer part numbers for the bolt-on pieces.....different than the c-clip pieces shown here. Every Spicer breakdown looks the same as this one. Does anyone have a list of the component parts used for bolt-on versus the component parts used for the c-clip? I found some bolt-on third members but need to find the right side yoke stub axle, bearing, seal, retainer, etc.PaulW wrote:No luck so far I cannot find a difference between the bolted and the C clip
Different parts are: Plate with 3 bolt holes, seal, bearing
Below is from the Spicer catalog.
Spicer X510-9
1980 Bronco
Find #, description
70 — (1) Shaft & Slip Yoke Assembly
— (2) KIT – Unit Bearing & Seal
(inc items 71, 72, 73)
71 — (2) Oil Seal
72 — (2) Bearing
73 42570 Snap Ring
The following two parts were used
in vehicles 1982 or earlier.
N.I. — (2) Retainer – Oil Seal
N.I. — (2) Retainer – Bearing Ring
N.I. = Not Illustrated
(1) See "Bill of Material Table" on next page
(2) See "Variable Parts Table" within this section
Shaft & Slip
Yoke Assy.
71432-1X
Pics below D44 blowup is from Spicer, and D44 axle blowup is from Ford. Note teh part number from the Ford pic
Seems like this thread should be merged with the D44 c-clip thread in regular tech.

Re: CV jointed -Threads merged.
$2000- seriously thats a bit on the crazy side-- I would venture to say those are a drop ship direct from RCV and are made to order-- for $2000 I sure as hell dont want to see some gayass orange boots-- reminds me of the days of trailmaster lift kits and the orange drop brackets!
