[Tigers] Tigers Digest, Vol 12, Issue 14

[Joe Brown]

Has anyone ever replaced their two-piece rear axles with one-piece axles?
The guy at the axle shop I am working with says he thinks he can get
one-piece axles made to replace what I have.  I was just wondering if
anybody has ever gone down this route.

Thanks,
Joe Brown
