Why don't we heat treat the original shafts instead of changing them for new ones? We need a metalurgest on this. Done all the time in industry. Heat it in an oven and plunge it in oil. Bet it would work if you could engineer the process.

Depends on what alloy the original shafts are. Some metals are heat treatable and some are not. If someone knows the alloy of the part I can look it up and see if it would work.

Are these the shafts that go from the diff to the rear half shafts? how much are they and r these the shafts that tend to break. how much labour is involved and does the whole diff have to come out..
