put me in line for a set.
btw my salisbury axle is 24 spline both ends. I think they are all this way.

Having said this, I'm sure a bunch of folks will post their broken Salisbury axle stories.
Getting back toward the original topic, I'm wondering what makes one driven hub "heavy duty" compared to others...The usual failure mode is to strip the splines off the inside of the driven hub, presuming that my hub failure was typical. If you can't change the spline dimensions/count, what's left? Harder metal? More spline contact along the axle length?
