Axial Wraith Steel Straight Axle Shaft 6x104.2mm SWR238S by GPM  [SWR238S]

Wraith straight axle replacement

The SWR238S is a steel aftermarket straight axle made for Axial Wraith models and supplied by GPM. It is intended to replace bent or fatigued axle shafts and bring driveline alignment back to factory-like straightness.

As a primary driveline member, the axle transfers torque between the differential output and the wheel hub mounts on the Wraith chassis. Replacement is recommended when runout or visible wear causes steering pull or inconsistent wheel tracking.

Fitment notes: verify the 6x104.2mm axle dimensions match your hub spacing before installation, check associated bearings and retainers, and ensure suspension and steering linkages have full clearance. Once installed, confirm smooth wheel rotation and test under compression to detect any binding. Replacing axles is commonly part of a list of drivetrain refresh items including bearings and hub hardware.
