Pinion gear
Stupid question but, does the spline count on the pinion gear have to match the axel spline count?

RE: Pinion gear
No the spline counts are independent of each other. You can put a different carrier or really just the spider gears in from a explorer I believe and go from 28 spline axles to 31 spline axles.

RE: Pinion gear
The pinion gear spline count and the axle spline count DO NOT need be the same.
In, fact most of the time they aren't.........

RE: Pinion gear
The only time you have to worry about pinion splines is if you are upgrading the pinion yolk. Axles are completely seperate
