My rangie with 35" tyres = problems

(1/3) > >>

buster uk:
Hi guys,
for those that dont know i've recently fitted 35" tyres to my rangie.







All ready i've bust a front half shaft.



I thought i'd broke a rear one the other day as there was a big snap noise and only the front wheels were turning.
I've just pulled one rear shaft and i heard a clunk type rattle as i pulled ,nice one i thought,it must be this one.As i drew it out there was nothing wrong with it.
So i proceeded to take out the other side to find that one is ok also.
So my question really is,has the rear diff blown ?? :? And is it possible ?

The diff could well be damaged. Certainly I would pull it out and inspect it.

Range Rover Blues:
If the rar prop is turning and the wheels are not then it's the diff.  Put a ARB/ATB/4 pin diff back in.

iomlr:
aggre with the above, but i'm gob smacked you have broken this lot, are you an aggressive driver? i run ARBs front and rear and do alot of VERY tricky off roading and the likes and touch would never broken a think running standard genuine drive train, check and adjusst back lash and the likes in the diff, make sure things are well maintained / serviced,

Hi guys,
Pulled the diff,and it was well and truely blown to bits.New one in,and im 4 wheeling again   :D
I'll put some pics up later.
Im not an aggressive driver ,but at the time i was trying to go over a large concrete step ,approx 2'.Non aggresively .
I had got over it before but on my second attempt whilest trying to shove the front end up the vertical lump,the back just poped.
