Defender Diff's and halfshafts

(1/4) > >>

ScrapyJape:
Just a quick question I am buying a arb air locker later onto day. I counted the end of the halfshaft it was 24, (I havent pulled the half shaft out to could the other end.. But I just read on the ashcroft website that on a 200tdi the diff end is a 10 spline so i would need a 10 spline arb locker not a 24, anyone know if this is true? saves me the job of pulling my half shafts out this afternoon.

200 TDi

Front Axle

Standard : halfshafts are 10 sp at the diff and 32 sp at the CV,

Rear Axle

Standard : halfshafts are 10 sp at the diff and 24 sp at the drive flange,

Thanks in advance

iomlr:
10 spline is correct, but always worth a check just in case.

24 spline is ment to be stronger but depending on how you drive 10 spline will be more than strong enough in my opinion.

Litch:
Agreed.
Always check as you never know what may have been fitted by a previous owner, it only takes a few minutes to remove a rear halfshaft so better safe than sorry. My 1986 ex-MOD 90 was fitted with 24-spline halfshafts & 4-pinion diffs as standard and they are often fitted by people doing a lot of off-roading.

Henry Webster:
If you've counted 24 on the outer rear shaft the inner will be 24 also. My understanding is that they are the same each end.  This won't have been a standard fit to that car so maybe worth pulling the shaft. Is it disc braked rear? If so this is unlikely to be standard for the vehicle and could be off an rrc or disco or later 90 110.

Ashcrofts will be able to help identify.

I've got some 200TDi halfshafts and IIRC they are multi spline at the oouter end but 10 at the inner.

10 spline it should be but you really should check.
