Thread: 200Tdi hubs and spindles on a 300Tdi

Bearmach CV's did really well in Ashcrofts testing against their own and other aftermarket CV's and I think the pricing is reasonable.
Hopefully their consistency is good too and it should be, IIRC they're made in Taiwan.

Serg has RRC CV's with Maxi/Hy Tough stubs and drive flanges and I reckon I'll go the same route.
Mal set it up for him, and I remember Matt/Rovercare mentioning in a thread that he'd blown a few AEU2511 CV's but only bent a few 10 spline stubs.
I also like the idea that if I carry a few spare it's a lot quicker to swap a stub axle when in the bush (not that I do anything extreme, the 130 is my daily work truck )

I'm more likely to pop a CV now too with the new 'too cool to be true' O offset rims.
I reckon I've shortened the turning circle by 5' at least, which was the aim.

I'm no longer trying to berth the Queen Mary, merely a Naval Destroyer

Double post doh

Or just get am AEU2522

i ran these too, with 32's and a hot 4.7 stroker. never hurt them in stock form either. in fact i sold them on many years ago when i upgraded everything. afaik they are still going well in a 200 tdi early d1.

i'm not all that worried anymore serge, my serious offroading days are pretty much over, actually

JC, do you know if the AEU2522 and the R06665 cvs are physically the same where they mount into the stub axle? That is, if we fit these early, longer 200tdi Stub axles, will the R06665 mount in the bronze bush and work correctly give the engagement to inner axle shaft???

2 long stubs on there way.........

can anyone tell me the physical differences between the 2 following stub axles.

FRC3132
FRC8540

from what I have found, these are both of Sals rear ends, early defender 90/110. Both appear to be long stubs (pre 300Tdi narrow bearing). I can see that the 3132 has the slot for washer tab and the 8540 has the large flat as per latter types for lock washer.....

but are they the same length etc?

Im guessing the one with large flat would be better if all else is equal..

My Bearmach catalogue only shows the FRC8540 stub axle ?

This could be interesting Drum axle to disc brake con.... - Defender Forum - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum

110 front hubs & stub axles can be used to convert from rear drum to rear disc brakes.
