J MAC AXLES

[rangieman]

does any one know if the macnamarra axles out of my rangie will fit my defender i know the spline is allright im not shaw on the length :oops:

Doesn't a Defender have a Salisbury.
Its my understanding, though I have never done it that the Rangie and Defender Salisbury are a straight change over, ie you can put the whole Rangie axle under the Defender or vice versa as the spring pad position, trailing arms , centre ball joint are the same. But if it is a Salisbury the axle length will probably be different..
Again I am not certain, but if it is the later light duty axle , then logic suggests it would fit,but then Land Rover is rarely logical.
So I probably haven't helped at all.

Rangieman, you haven't really given the most basidc information to give an answer.
1 Is your rear axle a Salisbury. You can tell by sticking your head underneath the back and looking to see if it has a bolt on cover plate. If it is a Salisbury , Range Rover axles will NOT fit.

2 Later Defenders had a different lighter duty axle, and I do not know whether the Range Rover axles will fit.

3 The point I was also trying to make is that its entirely possible in both cases that you can switch the entire axle. Whether you want to do this with a Salisbury is a moot point, but I think the later axle is just a Rangie axle with a dual crosshaft diff. I am not sure of this however . You would have to get out with a tape measure and see if the track, spring pads, etc are exactly the same.

ok here is the blurb im about over this .


as states in my profile (underneath my post) macnamara diffs and axles in my rangie , banjo type diff (ok) got that


and i have which i didnt mention (sorry) a95 defender which i am smart enough to know has a salisbury diff .

now here we go again the defender has a arb diff lock but it has standard axles .

now i asked if the rangie axles are the same length as a defender i know the splines are the same i just would like to know if the length is the same

thankyou for trying to sort it out

it is just easier to to ring a work shop i think https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
