A breather at least. The grease might be higher temp too. Let me check my receipt.

*Edit - No details on receipt. The Raxles website is limited but one can email at sales@raxles.com for more details.
Raxles usually doesn't do a breather, that's a DSS thing it seems. At least my VIR spec ones don't have a breather, and I just had them rebuilt last year i think.

The VIR spec is the high temp grease used. He may use a stronger boot, not sure... Marty is cool, but he isn't sharing all his secrets :)

If you have a good set of OEM axles you could just repack them with high temp grease and roll.
Thank you for chiming in and sharing. :thumbup:
