Title: 90 vs 130 front axle

Hi
Anyone know the differences between a 90 and a 130 front axle apart from larger vented discs?

Well, my 130 double cab has salisbury front and rear, but it was a GKN 110, somebody lengthend it to 130, and my 130 CSW has only a salisbury on the rear.
And finding a salisbury front axle is like rocking horse, and hens teeth :wink:

ok

done bit thinkin (very hard work)
130's shouldnt have salsburys unless specially fitted ,see above for what they should be on,the salsbury has a kinked track rod as standrd to clear the diff but is rather vulrnerable on bowlers if running 235's,if ur runnin 35" tyres should be fine,only military 90's & 110's had 4 pin front diffs & V8 90's had 4 pin rear diffs as standard,

110 post 94 had vented front disks but standard internalls,salsbury fronts have vented disks same size as the 110's & same size calipers

any more detail just ask n ill have a think  :shock:

Sorry about delay Ibex m8, been away. The front track rod is kinked as suggested, but all seems heavyer than normal. Its was a GKN 110 HICAP, the back was full of batterys for starting tanks, previous owner turned it into 130.
