Thread: 130 funny back end

That's odd... I'd b placing the rear of the vehicle on stands, removing the back wheels and clamping a straight edge to each hub then measuring the distance from each hub to the ball joint on the center of the axle. If these match side for side (which they should), then look at the 'A' frame mounting points at the chassis end. 10/20mm out here will move the axle to the left or right... If they don't match, then yup, look at hubs.. While you have the wheels off, lie them flat on a level floor with the outside up and double check again that the distance from the floor and the inside flange face match... LWB and Deep Dish 130 rims look similar at first glance. Let us know what you find....

i run a tape from the flange to the ball, no problem there.

put a strat edge over the out side of the rim and meserd to the drive flane no problem there.

so i asuming the problem is between the drive flange and dif flange?

i will keep this thread up dated. im about to put a picture in the what did you do today, a dead 300tdi disco is next job after i do a couple of little jobs on my county then i will be back onto the 130. i think i have to many mates with LRs

You're drawing a long bow there.

Perhaps if you use the disco hubs, etc.

110 stub axles are longer than Disco I. Later Defender may be same length.
