200 / 300 axle
barmiebrumie:
Hi Guy's,
as my axle/hub decided to completely collapse yesterday on my way home :twisted:, i think I may need to change the axle if not at least the complete hub assay & half shaft,
My question is will a 300 axle fit ???, I know the 300 has one brake pipe & the 200 has 2 so can i fit the 300 axle & the change over the brake discs & callipers from the 200 axle :?
Thanks in advance

AFAIK yes, though I do know the disk offset on the front of a 300 TDi is different to the back ( I had thought they were the same disk), but I'm sure the callipers are the same casting on 200s and 300s

RRB - are defender axles / halfshafts / diffs any stronger than disco ones? As per my recent predicament i've been offered a defender diff (currently fitted to a '92 200) for a reasonable price. Thought it might be worth considering as a stop-gap solution.

the diffs are all the same (well other than 24 spline & 10 spline)
its the CV joints that are stronger on a defender than a disco
BB the 300 axle will slide under a 200 car no issues, make sure you use the 300 radius arms & just swap the 200 calipers over onto the 300 axle,
