Which type axles?
« on: December 28, 2007, 16:30:21 »
Hi all

In my 1988 2.5TD 90, which type axles will be fitted as standard, 10 or 24 spline?

And what's this imperial/metric difference I see around?

TIA.

Older RRC have imperial diffs in the axles, though they are fully interchangeable with metric ones the bearings inside are older spec parts in imperial sizes.  Apparently this is only a problem if you are fitting ARBs.
