KP540 Complete Axles

Build once and drive with confidence. KP540 complete axles start with our high-clearance center section and add a full KP540 wheel end package that is designed around a 40 spline interface and the large 1550 U joint window. The result is a front axle that steers precisely, handles impact loads, and can be serviced with readily available parts. Inner Cs, knuckles, spindles, and hubs are ECGS components engineered to work together as a system.
