Currie Axles


In 1959 a man named Frank Currie started building differentials in his garage.  His business took off and by 1964 he was in a shop in Placentia, California.  By the 70s his sons had joined him in the business and in the late 70s they expanded and began building performance rear ends.  Through the years, the business has continued to grow, both in the number of products in their line and the production facility.  They are now located in Corona, California in a 40,000 sq. ft. building and have a reputation for producing superior off road products.  Their parts are used in Rock Crawling competitions on a regular basis.

Currie Performance Axle package

This is sold as a kit.  It includes 2 ale shafts that are forged alloy and are in 30, 31, 33, or 35 spline and small, sealed bearing or tapered large bearing, new axle bearings and seals, ¼’’ thick heavy duty retainer plates, and a wheel bolt pattern of your choice.  Choose from up to 6 on 5 ½’’ and also wheel studs of your choice.  You can get ½’’ x 3’’.  Also the 5/8’’ size is available to you at no additional fee.

Competition Inner Axles

If you want the strongest axles you can get then look no further than the Competition Inner Axles offered by Currie.  These are 1 ton axles built for competition.  These are the same axles that Shannon Campbell uses in rock crawling and rock racing competitions.  Some of the features of these axles are that they have a heat treated billet and 4340 fully bridged yokes as well as 35 spline 300M ale shafts.  If you need 40 degrees of turning angle, these axles can handle it easily and they will accept any common 1 ton 1480 style U-joint and the Currie competition outer axles.  One added benefit is that these are sold as a pair.

Performance Axle Shaft

While some of the Currie axles are made for completion, there are others, like this one that are made for day to day use.  This is an axle that is sold one at a time instead of as a pair.  It is forged alloy steel and comes on 31, 33 or 35 spline.  You can get in it small or large bearing.  The price of this axle includes one bare axle shaft that will be custom machined to fit your needs.


All in all, this is an unbeatable product that everyone should have in their vehicle.
