It takes about 10 minutes to pull an axle. I might let it go for now and pull it at the end of next season to see if I've more twist. That is, unless.. I twist one in two first. It'll cost me around a grand to upgrade to 31 spline and right at $1500 to go with 35 spline. The difference being that there's a limited selection of posi units with 35 splines. If I replace things I'm inclined to go to the 35 splines.. Decisions, decisions...

I'd contact a real race axle company (Moser, Strange, etc) and just have them make you a set in the same configuration.

...and stay with the 28s? I thought Currie's axles were of similar quality?

Although there's some spline erosion, the axle itself is twisting. Spline count is not the problem it's the axle material itself.

Retire it to garage wall art and get a new one...

Think of the stories: "Look what I did to these!"
