crx hf axle vs crx si axle...

is there any difference in the hf and hf axles? i mean just the axle. i kno the hf has lighter drums, but i'm changing those anyways. i'm talking about just the beam axle. i kno the si has an internal sway bar and the hf doesnt. is there anything else that is different?

thanks in advance,
Steven Folchi

Re: crx hf axle vs crx si axle...

The HF axle beam is smaller in diameter than the SI or DX beam. IIRC, the HF beam is 2-1/4" diameter and the SI/DX are 2-1/2" in diameter. The HF beam is also lighter than the SI/DX because it does not use the internal rear sway bar. Other than that, it is a direct swap.

I used an HF beam in my SI to reduce weight, but I also added an 19mm Lightspeed rear sway bar for stability.
