Hello all!

I am looking into picking up an 85' SFA this weekend. I am wondering if there are any specific things to look for in an axle? Common flaws, things to avoid. I will look the unit over as carefully as possible to ensure it is in solid shape.

Also, i am going to be paying $375 for the unit. It is complete, hub to hub and still has springs attached.

Is this too steep? I understand that the 85' axles are very sought after due to the factory gusset reinforcements top and bottom.

Essentially i want to make sure i am not rushing into this.

Any advice/links are greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!!
