I know a fellow with a final drive he'd like to sell.
He's unsure how to accurately describe the spline wear. I have given him my opinion.
Now I'm after yours. Compare to the hansen's one ready to reinstall.

Is that % worn or % life left... makes a big difference...

Good point Rob. Worn %. Time left would also be a welcome opinion. It all adds to the discussion.

The teeth and their gaps should be equal in width. Those gaps look to be at least 6 times the width of the tooth tip. If you added half the gap width to the tooth tip they would be more or less equal. Therefore 3/4 of the tooth is worn away. 75% worn, 25% left. But I'd toss it or renew.

Ya, cause 25% tooth left is not 25% life left. There will still be tooth left at the moment when the whole thing fails.

I voted 80% worn. That means that it only has 20% to go before failure is likely. However, the teeth are 50% worn. As Rob said, what do you want to know.
In any case, it is time to start planning on sending it in, or replacing it.
