Differential cross pin
What material is a differential cross pin? Is it hardened? Does it have to be hardened?
I ask because I'm going to be doing a 4.56 gear swap in the spring and I am finally getting my factory limited slip unit back together. I have the new clutches back in with the spider gears. The original pin was worn out so I was thinking about making a new one since I work at a machine shop. I do have to buy the lock bolt but figured if I could save the $40 on the cross pin I would.
