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

Wraith axle replacement shaft

The SWR238S steel straight axle is an aftermarket replacement intended for Axial Wraith chassis and supplied by GPM. It is intended to replace bent or worn shafts and return driveline straightness to scale Wraith models.

This axle acts as the rigid member that transmits torque from the differential output to the wheel hub assemblies on the Wraith platform. It is a service item commonly changed when shaft runout or damage affects wheel alignment and smoothness.

Fitment checklist: confirm the 6x104.2mm dimension and overall axle length match your hub centres, inspect bearings and retainers for wear, and ensure suspension and steering linkages clear the new shaft. After fitting, test wheel rotation and work the suspension to catch any binding. Many technicians replace bearings and hub hardware alongside new axles to keep handling consistent.
