RRC with a defender front axle

<< < (2/3) > >>

Range Rover Blues:
If it's easier I think you can swap the swivels over rather than take the whole axle off.

i have done the same on my old 90 i used a 200 tdi disco axle stubs as they are 7 stud as the rangie axle stubs i had was only 6 studs

Range Rover Blues:
Early RRC had 6 bolt swivles, they wre later 7 bolt to make them stronger.

Also , I understand that Defenders might have stronger swivel bearings :-k than RRC/Disco
So a mix 'n' match axle would be RRC driveshafts, Defender swivles and RRC casing/rad arms or Defender casing/rad arms.

Spanners at the ready folks ;)

craig_midz:
i was lead to believ 110 cvs where stronger then 90 ones as there where just the same as rrc an disco an also 110 had bigger disc an calipers

Range Rover Blues:
110s and 130s have the vented sisks like the RRC, but the calliper is bigger.  I don't know about the CVs but the later ABS axled RRC/Disco are stronger thanthe non-ABS axles, internally they are built the same as Defender with Railko bushes and no support bearing for the halfshaft in the back of the swivel ball.  The CV and outwer driveshaft are the same part which is why they are stronger.

That said ealry RRC had a bigger CV joint too, I'm told.

The 200 TDi Defendr CVs are about the strongest standard CV, but you can't fit alloys straight over the top of them as they stick out too far.
