Got my revolution front shafts ready to go in- paint the exposed parts first?

zimm · Jul 14, 2018

I finally got done putting the u joints together. For $900 I was hoping they'd assemble them! The full c-clips are a pain, but it's all together. Now, should I squirt the u joint and parts that will be exposed with some flat back before installing? I can't tell if the shafts are bare steel, or have a corrosion resistant coating.

I would imagine they should have some corrosion resistant coating.

I imagined they would've come assembled... My $400 Carbon Offroad shafts did.

Are those American made? 4340 chrom? That’s a hell of a deal if so. And probably even if they aren’t

American assembled, not made. Chromoly, yes. Spicer u-joints. 15 year warranty. Can't complain about the price, and their customer service is excellent.

I ended up painting them. Looked like raw steel to me, especially the spicer joints.

Nice, Yea that’s still a great price either way. Good to hear about their customer service as well.

Yeah. I got the fronts first and just got the rears a few weeks ago. There was a delay, probably because of the overseas shipping, but they were up front about it and kept me in the loop.
