Collection: Axles & CV Components
The drivetrain is a critical point of failure in any air-cooled build, especially as power levels increase or suspension geometry is modified. Worn splines, clicking CV joints, and torn boots not only compromise performance but can lead to significant mechanical failure on the road.
At Washburn’s Metal, we provide the components necessary to ensure your drivetrain is as solid as your chassis. This collection features axles, CV joints, and boot kits selected for their material quality and precision fitment. We focus on parts that meet the demands of both stock restorations and high-performance builds—the same components we install on our shop projects in Orange, CA.
Collection Highlights:
-
Axle Shafts: High-strength replacements designed for reliable power transfer.
-
CV Joints: Precision-engineered joints for smooth operation and reduced vibration.
-
Boot Kits: Heavy-duty rubber and silicone boots to protect your drivetrain from debris.
-
Installation Hardware: Specialized bolts, clips, and grease required for a professional-grade assembly.
Reliable drive components for a dependable build. Shop the parts we trust for our in-house restorations and customer vehicles.
