salisbury axle
Miniman:
I have a Salisbury axel on my 109 and also was wondering if you can upgrade them in ratio...?
muddyweb:
Not easily... a normal 109 will have a 4.7:1 diff. If you can find one, the Series 3 Stage 1 V8 has a 3.54:1 Salisbury on the rear, which matches a Range Rover diff you could stick in the front.... but Stage 1 axles are few and far between.
muddyweb:
Just to follow that up... you'd need to find a replacement crownwheel and pinion to fit your existing axle to change the one you have. And it's not a fun job.

--- Quote from: "Steel" ---I think military 109s also had them on the front? Or was that the 110 Wolfs?
--- End quote ---
No, the one ton series III and some specials (eg TACR) had salisbury fronts but it was not a standard fit on military vehicles.
The wolf, oddly, uses rover diffs front and back, even on 110s so far as I have seen.
muddyweb:
The Wolf does indeed use a Rover type. It's the same as was used on the P38 and Disco 2
