I have a '97 E150 with a 3:55/9.75 differential whose RR axle shaft was destroyed by a bad bearing. I've searched high and low and cannot seem to find a replacement shaft that exactly matches what I have. It's a 34-spline shaft with a length of approx. 34" (I don't know where to take the measurements). Also the tag says "S710A" Does anyone know of an after market company that I can match this up with? I'd prefer somewhere mid-Atlantic so that I can take the axle shaft to them and physically match it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

Destoyed,,, too bad for an axle saver bearing?

 

Well, it rounded it out about 1/8" deep. I had replaced the bearing and seal and totally forget about checking the axle. LOL - the job is easier the second time around. Except, of course, trying to find a replacement axle. Anyone have any luck with a machine, etc., rebuilding the bearing surface?
