    If you call half-shafts "axles"...then yes.

    I bought as a set, two shafts, two CVs.
    Inner end of shafts pushes into factory diff (which I had a feeling was 31spline?) and outer end will not fit up the back of factory CVs.
    CV outer fits into standard locking hubs.

    Great , I have bought the monster grade stuff it seems. Dont expect to be abusing the system, however it can all be over in a split second when you lift a wheel and it comes back to earth.

    Glad to see Rossco, they are pretty well pointless sitting there like that, send me another shot when they are installed and I can get more of a feel if the right one is fitted. Thanks for picking them up.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Gotta have a weak link somewhere though and surely the hub would have the be the easiest part to replace track side?

    It will either be the hub or the diff centre. Easy to kill hubs with lockers and chromo axles/cvs. Genuine manual hubs aren't cheap. CVs are like anything they do wear out and don't last forever. They will fatigue as they get older and become weaker. Chromoly a lot less so and I would expect to last the life of most GQ patrols.

    You could try some of those steel strengthening rings on the hubs which would help and are quite cheap.

    I run the steel rings, but curious about what constitutes a genuine hub? I bought mine new in 1997, already running free wheeling hubs - are these genuine as you call it or fitted in Australia like the aircon units? I have a spare set of hunts and also the fixed hubs supposedly ex Nissan as well. I take the point that a weak link would be nice in the drive train where it is easily replaced, but not looking to find it!
