Axial EXO Centre Drivetrain Swing Shaft Steel EX037S by GPM  [EX037S]

Heavy Duty Centre Swing Shaft for EXO

The EX037S steel centre swing shaft is an aftermarket component designed for use with Axial EXO models and supplied as one set. Used as a direct replacement for the centre swing assembly, the steel shaft improves centre drivetrain stability and offers greater wear resistance over standard stock parts.

For enthusiasts adjusting drivetrain feel, a steel centre shaft increases rigidity around the centre diff and linkages. This typically delivers a firmer drivetrain connection and reduced flex during demanding off road runs or bashing, but note that more stiffness can move additional shock into neighbouring linkages and mounts.

Fitment is straightforward for anyone familiar with EXO centre assemblies: remove the OEM shaft from the swing carrier, inspect bearings and link pins, fit the steel shaft into the same mounting location, and check for free swing arm movement before final tightening. Avoid overtightening and confirm bearings rotate freely after install.

Care guidance: routinely check the shaft and bearing contact areas for wear and corrosion, apply suitable lubrication for steel contacts, and replace worn pins or bearings to protect the shaft from premature damage.
