I had serious concerns about the axle on my '84 Odyssey and assumed that it had been part of the recall. I finally checked out the NHTSA website and found out that the recall applied only to some 180 models sold in '85 and '86. And not to the ones manufactured by General RV (which mine is).
This was a very pleasant surprise, but I'm no axle expert and now I'm curious what makes mine different. Should I still have any concerns?
Thanks Janna
If you could, send another post and attach a picture or two of your axle, showing the lug nuts , differential, and so forth, maybe we all could compare it to what we have to try to identify the beefed up 5-lug axle. I found a place that will actually make a brand new axle of almost any type, including the 6-lug full floating axle. Here is the link to it : http://www.diamondaxle.com/index.htm I don't know the prices or anything.
