 After some help,

 Can anybody tell me what the difference is between a salisbury axle and standard LR axle and are they the same on a  disco I?

gt.jacko:
basically the rover axles have a removable diff ie it is built into a casing then bolted into the case of the axle, the salisbury diff is built into the axle casing and has to be dismantled to be removed from the casing, as far as i know salisbury axles were only fitted as standard in the rear axles of 110 inch land rovers, disco,s only have the rover type axles fitted front and rear which means front and rear diffs are the same and interchangeable with other rover axles front or rear. salisbury axles are available to fit the fronts but they are not very common the salisbury is regarded as stronger than the rover axle diffs but when it does break is is much harder to replace :)

Hi,

Salisbury's are totally different to a standard Disco 1 Axel, they are basically all beefed up with stronger diffs (4 pin I think), halfshafts etc the Disco one IIRC has a 10 spline Axel and move to 24 Spline on the Disco 2.

Salisbury axles are common on the rear of Defenders, more on the 110 I think (not sure)


Question is why the question what are you doing to warrant needing one.

Range Rover Blues:
110 and 130 rear axle, not sure if the 130 front axle was Salisbury and are the Wolfs not salisbury too?

Also of course the 101 front and rear.

DISCOS WENT 24 SPLINE ON K/L PLATE NOT ON DISCO 2S!!!!!!!!!!
