After an incident while off-road with some friends, my JK was making an AWFUL squeaking noise. I was able to track the issue down to a bent passenger side axle flange. I contacted Olympus Offroad and literally within minutes of sending an email I received a highly-detailed response that answered all of my questions, once again Olympus leads the way with their customer service. I decided to order a set of rear axle shafts. Three days later my axle shafts arrived at my door, ready to bolt on the jeep.

I found a writeup on removing the rear shafts on JK-Forum. In about 45 minutes I had both factory shafts out and the nitro shafts installed. The drivers side measures 30.79" and the passenger side measures 32.50".

After torquing all of the necessary hardware, I took the jeep for a quick spin.... NO MORE SQUEAK! I was happy that my squeak and my wallet was even happier, thanks to the great price from Olympus Offroad.

You didn't have to press the bearings? It just bolts right up?

It is an option to have them pressed. They arent that much more expensive than the other brands.
