    Puma Axle's

    Thanks Drover, I have added to my wish list. Seems like a huge saving to import directly.

    Never had a problem with rover rear axles to be honest and that's on 3 vehicles a county,200tdi defender and a puma having said that the puma went in for 3 rear diffs whilst under warranty for reasons I put down to what blknight said...the same cannot be said for genuine front ends I have snapped axles/cv's in puma and 200tdi with standard tyres and Hp the county's I have not..

    The rear axles were replaced under warranty on my 2011 Puma after the first trip up to the Cape. It seems if you load up your Defender close to max, have drive up a few steep creek exits, you can damage the standard axles. I had a lot of extra play in the drive train after the first trip, and after the dealer to check at the next service, they told me the axles were damaged. Replacing them made a bit of a difference to the play, but I was still not happy.

    I decided to fit Hi-tuf axles when I fitted the Ashcroft ATBs front and rear and converted the axles to oil lubed as well. MR Automotive set up the diffs properly, and removed a lot of play out of the drive train that the dealer had said was "within spec".
