Thread: salisbury axle or rover

Basically, if it is the same as the front one it's a Rover diff. Salisbury are much bigger and also have a bolt on plate on the rear.

I think your model is maybe the last of the Sals?

110 have never had a rover diff in the rear, if it's not a sals it's a P38 diff. It looks similar the rover type. Being an 02 I think it will be a sals.

And the bolt number is 10. I have a sneaking suspicion this may be why they are also referred to as a 'ten bolt' diff.

Plenty of diffs have 10 bolts. The GM 10-bolt diffs are usually referred to as a "10 bolt diff"


EDIT - and the Salisbury is the same as the Dana 60 in that image - however for some reason they have rotated the image 90o

no its nothing to do with the cover, And its not a Landrover Salisbury thats called a 10 bolt diff,

A 10 Bolt Diff is the Holden Salisbury, because it has 10 bolts holding the crown wheel onto the carrier.
A landrover Salisbury (dana 60) would be a 12 bolt diff, but yes there is 10 bolts holding on the cover

Other sources would disagree:

GM CORPORATE 10-BOLT
The GM 10-bolt is named for the number of bolts on the cover; ring gear diameter is 7 1/2 inches. Variations of this can be found in the rear of GM S-trucks and some Isuzus, and in the front of S-trucks.

What is the source of this info ? , I would tend to agree with 'goingbush' that 'bolt' number refers to the number of bolts fastening the crown wheel to the carrier. Essentially the number of bolts holding the cover on is an irrelevancy. Just because it's been published doesn't neccessarily make it correct.
