What is a cross pin shaft used for in a differential?

The cross pin shaft is a crucial part of the differential's spider gear assembly. It passes through the differential case and the spider gears mount onto it, allowing them to rotate and enable your vehicle to turn.

Can I use this cross pin shaft with any type of locker?

No, this specific Yukon Gear & Axle cross pin shaft is not compatible with 'drop-in' style lockers such as Spartan Lockers or Powertrax Lock Rights. Their design can interfere with the shaft's intended function.

Does this cross pin shaft come with any hardware?

This product is for the cross pin shaft only. Installation may require other differential components and hardware, which are sold separately.
