Classic axle
smo:
Can anyone tell me how many splines a "classic" axle would have, is it 10 or 24?
jjsaul:
up to early 1990's they were 10
at some point disco/def/rrc changed to 24 afaik
Range Rover Blues:
Generally accepted as the introduction of the 300TDi/300 series or softdash for the Range Rover. But if anyone knows different please say.
There are other differences in the history of the Range Rover classic axle that don't affect the Disco, which was pretty much the EFi standard Rangie with a new body.
Most notable are the rear axle damper mounts and the 'imperial' bearings used in the diffs, which have different filler plugs IIRC. The props were also thinner on the older RRC and the UJs smaller.
On the front the 6 bolt swivels on earlier cars and did someone say the early ones had bigger CV joints too?
Later, after the introduction of Disco came the ABS style axles with the oil seal inside the stub axle, driveshaft incorperated into the cv and different bearings in botht he swivel and the CV support.
Just in case the info proves useful :wink:
