Yukon Gear & Axle Standard Open Cross Pin 0.795 Inch for 8.5 Inch GM Eaton Positractions
$37.89

If you're diving into a differential rebuild or just need to replace some worn-out parts, Yukon Gear & Axle has got your back with their cross pin shaft designed for GM 8.5" and 8.6" differentials. This isn’t just any run-of-the-mill part; it’s built specifically for standard open differentials. So, if you’re working on a classic ride or a more modern setup, this piece is going to fit right in.

Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. This cross pin shaft boasts a solid 0.795" diameter, which means it’s sturdy enough to handle the torque without bending or breaking under pressure. It’s got beveled edges, which helps with the installation and ensures a snug fit. Just keep in mind, you’ll need to grab some bolts separately since they’re not included with the shaft.

Here’s the kicker: this part fits a ton of classic and modern GM vehicles, from the 1973 Buick Apollo to the 2017 GMC Sierra. Whether you’re restoring a vintage Chevy Camaro or keeping your GMC Yukon running smoothly, this cross pin shaft is a reliable choice. Just make sure you’re using it with standard open differentials; it’s not meant for Eaton Positractions, so double-check your setup before you order.

In a nutshell, if you need a solid, dependable cross pin shaft for your GM differential project, this Yukon part is worth considering. It’s built to last, fits a wide range of vehicles, and is just what you need to keep your ride on the road.
