Axle Options

[zulublue]

Hi All,

I have blown my 10 spline diff and casing on the rear of my 90, It has a 93 disco axle on it.
I also had the nearside front of the 90 lock up on me and threw me all over the road last week on the way back from Avon Dassett, now the front is still a defender axle which I think the CV has collapsed, I am now looking at options to fix this and I dont know whether to:

Buy a 10 spline Disco or RRC axle for the front, remove the diff in the defender axle (if its ok) and put it in the rear.

Or

Swap to 24 spline axles, I have never twisted a half shaft, but have done a couple of diffs.

IIRC the set up of a 24 spline rear diff is different (doughnut coupling or something)

Any advice !!!

easiest way to do it is to use 300 front diff in back that way u can use your standard back prop i am gonna do this to the back of my disco fed up of chewin doughnuts so im gonna chuck a front diff in the back and a 200 rear prop

ideally you want a 24 spline rear axle, and keep the early 90/110 axle on the front, thats you strongest set-up stock lr parts

or, if you want to mess around abit, get yourself some v8 90 rear shafts ( nas spec which  are 24spline) fit a 24v spline diff into a 200tdi rear axle case then you can have the shafts as a seperate item from the dive flange which is ultra handy

the rear axle will then be the strongest stock set-up with the 24spline shafts, and the front will be the strongest set up as the shafts dont reduce in size and the cv joint is alot bigger ( just dont use cheap cv joints i.e britpart ) use genuine gkn ones
