1 1/4 live axle

can't seem to find a inch in a quarter live axle with a one inch step down. any help would be appreciated

whats the step down for? you could always have it milled, that may weaken it if it is a hollow axle.

yes you need to be more precise. I use 1 1/4 axles all the time. What are you needing the step down for ? And what parts do you have already ?

The step down is for the rim they are 1 inch id I was looking for a solid axle they don't seem to make them

try bmi karts, I believe I saw a 1 1/4 step downed axle, you could also swap the hubs to fit a 1 1/4 axle.

I have never seen a 1 1/4 axle that had a step down. I would stick the axle in a lathe and turn the ends down and just recut the groove with a cut off wheel or get a new axle and swap out bearings and hubs too match everything.

I just ordered a step down axle from bmi but it is 1" to 3/4 so I could use a 4 on 4 golf cart wheels. They have another step down axle but its not that size.

maybe it was the 1 to 3/4 that i was thinking.

Maybe you could use a 1in, and use some pieces to step it up to 1 1/4 where it needs to be.
Ive seen adapters for 3/4 to 1in. Surly there is something for 1 to 1 1/4. Probably need a handful of locking collars to keep it all in place.
