Re: Rear end experts, I need your advise! Are these axles junk?

The axle nut threads can be way far gone and still be serviceable, but the keyway must be pristine with no indication of a crack at the inboard end. The smallest crack there will have your wheel go off one otherwise fine day.

I agree its alot harder to find axles with good keyway and threads.If that end good I'd hang on to them.
