Crane Axle 40-Spline Aluminum Wheel Hubs (for Crane Spindle System)
SKU: CA0105040
The Foundation of a High-Horsepower Rear End.
When you are pushing massive horsepower and running 40-spline shafts, your hubs are the critical link between power and traction. Crane Axle Premium 40-Spline Aluminum Wheel Hubs are engineered for the extreme abuse of rock bouncing and competition crawling, offering significant weight savings without sacrificing the strength required for severe shock loads.
Machined right here in the USA from high grade 6061 aluminum, these hubs reduce rotational mass, allowing your drivetrain to spin up faster and react quicker.
CRITICAL FITMENT WARNING: These hubs are exclusively engineered as part of a specific system. They are ONLY compatible with the Crane Axle 40 Spline Rear Spindle Kit (CA01032). They will not fit factory spindles or other aftermarket variations.

Tech Insight
Crane’s 40 Spline 14-Bolt Aluminum Wheel Hubs eliminate unnecessary unsprung and rotational weight while maintaining the strength needed for extreme off-road abuse. Aluminum hubs significantly reduce the rotating mass at each corner — meaning quicker acceleration, easier braking, and less stress on drivetrain components.
Combined with a 40-spline upgrade, this setup is one of the most reliable and competition-proven options for aggressive off-road builds.
