High-Performance Axle and Hub Assembly Solutions

Floater kits are a critical safety component for drag racing, circuit racing, and rallying. They reduce the load on your axle and the risk of losing wheels while cornering or launching, making them a legal requirement for modified street cars and Hot Rods as well as many diciplines of motorsport.

How Floater Kits Work

Most standard production cars have a pressed-on wheel bearing that fits inside the diff housing, which is held in place by a collar on the axle shaft. The flange that holds the wheel is part of the axle itself, carrying all loads, weight, and cornering forces. This design can lead to axle failure under extreme driving conditions, as the bearing and axle shaft are subjected to excessive stress.

Floater kits address this issue by decoupling the wheel from the axle, allowing the axle to focus solely on transmitting drive forces. This is achieved through the floater kit’s spindle and bearing assembly, which takes the load off the axle and features two larger, heavier-duty bearings capable of handling increased loads and cornering forces, reducing the risk of bearing failure. Additionally, the floater kit’s spindle and hub assembly creates a more robust attachment point for the wheel, hub, and brake assembly, minimizing the risk of wheel loss and reducing pad knockoff from axle flange flex. By redesigning the attachment point and load path, floater kits significantly enhance safety and performance under extreme driving conditions.
