Axle identification.

V8MoneyPit:
Hi all

Is there any way to identify the origins of an axle from it's number? I've had a scan around the internet, but failed to find a guide.

It's difficult to read the number but it appears to be 28S 88639?0. The second from last number is totally unreadable! Does the 28S tell me anything?

I believe it is from a Disco 1, but might be a RRC. It's for a 10 spline diff, has 'mushroom' type half shafts and disc brakes. It has (had!) wiring for pad wear on one side only.

I'm just trying to find out so I know what spares to order in the future!

28S00001B onwards is a Disco axle. As it is the first number listed you can assume it's from a 200 series Disco.

That type are all going to be much of a muchness anyway, but stuff like this is in the Rimmer Bros catalogue.

Aren't all the axle cases the same?

Thanks everyone. I just like to know for future reference.  :)
