P1000 Whats the best replacement Axles for the Honda Pioneer 1000?

[Hondasxs]

Ok,
Whats the best replacement axles for the Honda Pioneer 1000?
I hear people popping them all but who has busted what and found that ___ brand was the best.
I will be adding a poll and editing this to include all listed.


This comes about because I have a front axle popping after install of the Super ATV front arms. I feel like this is due to moving the ball's out of their normal "wear" zone in the cup and NOT due to the arms themselves. I have over 1300 miles on these axles.

Ok. So list them up.

• OEM Honda factory.
• Rhino Brand - Super ATV
  • Front both sides -
  • Right Rear - https://amzn.to/2vvMJ8S
  • Left Rear - https://amzn.to/2KBSl6q
• Allballs
  • Left REAR - https://amzn.to/2My0D13
  • Right REAR - https://amzn.to/2OTSF3K
• Gorilla

The OME will run cooler.. the SATV I can’t say are any stronger but they’re waaay cheaper and seem to be of pretty good quality. I’ve broken both so. Oh and SATV you have a 1 year warranty. They replaced mine no questions asked and with no hassle. So that’s something. Also, all balls has an axle but from what I’ve heard it’s on par with SATV. I say wait for a sale and get the SATV.


Oh.. I do prefer the bands on the OEM axles. You could always wait for the Rhino 2.0’s!

I like OEM, I hate that you have to assemble them and you cannot just buy them ready to go. Just for that I would use all balls or gorilla.

I'm not finding Gorilla, In fact, I'm not finding any aftermarket FRONT axles online anywhere.
What am I missing?

I have Rhinos on the right side and Allballs on the left. Broke an Allballs front axle sometime before the Coalmont ride and didn't know it. The cage was pretty thin with them being 8 ball axles. Considering I didn't brake the Rhino in Coalmont with 100% of power going to that axle only, I would have to go with Rhino. Also, Arrowhead (Manufacturer of axle) warrantied my axle and was sending one out. After 2 weeks of waiting I called back and was backordered till September. Told me to buy another new one online and they would send me the replacement when it came back in stock, Then I could send the replacement back to them for a refund (trainwreck).

Check out O’Reilly auto parts. They took out a full page ad in dirt wheels claiming they are going to stock axles.

I have a front popping now. I'm curious what axle offerings there are now, 1 year later on this thread. It looks like 4 parts to get complete Honda front. Rhino is my next thought, but I only see their 2.0 available for a 6" lift length, so still only original available? I've heard bad things about AllBalls. I'm not spending $500 on one gorilla axle. What's the general consensus now. I'm stock a arms with 814 shocks providing only lift.

 

[Firemedic530]

Ok, I'll try the question again. What replacement axle would you currently buy? I know guys have used Allballs, Rhino and stock. I talked to @Rambo and @riverratcadillac and they both said they would go stock Honda. I've searched old threads and saw @JTW felt the Rhino was running hot and @snuffnwhisky had the Allballs come apart. Would you guys just buy all of the parts and stick with Honda? Are any of the aftermarket axles improved since this thread?

 

[snuffnwhisky]

Rhino for me.

 

[Firemedic530]

Rhino for me.

Thank you

 

[snuffnwhisky]

@JTW rear rhino was rubbing the diff housing causing heat. Not sure what became of it. No issues with mine.

 

[Firemedic530]

I like the price and simplicity of the Rhino and then rebuilding my stock as a spare. I just don't want to have to do it yearly.

 

[JTW]

So front rhinos have been great.. I’ve had a lot of issues out of the rears. For the $$ I’d do rhinos for spares but try to keep Honda’s on the back

I had an axle go out on the driver side and they are putting a Cano hd axles on the guy that owns the place rides on like 40in tires and says that what he uses so why not. No harder then I ride I'm sure they will be fine. Long story short the axle breaking was because the ball joint came out so they would still be working just fine if that wouldn't of happened.

What about for for LE models? I'm finding that the rhinos and gorillas are not compatible
