Range Rover Axle question (yes another one....)

[Lucus]

Hi Guys,
My 93RRC (ex air suspension, abs and etc fitted) Has 10 splines in the rear. The front Has defender style front drive flanges.

So am i correct in assuming it has the smaller front CV's and a 24 spline front diff?

Is it possible to have a 24 spline outer axles and 10 spline inners on the front end of a range rover?

Is the rear 10 spline correct for this car (vin is KA623622) or has it had the rear diff and axles changed?

Would it be worthwhile changing to 24 splines in the rear if i was to fit a trutrac?

Is it viable to install 24 spline spiders and and axles rather than taking a punt on a second had diff? as the diffs in my car are very quite and have bugger all backlash.

thanks in advance guys

Luke Sounds like a standard set up to me. Rangies ran this from day 1. To get fine splines in you will need post 93 disco diffs and shafts. Or install lockers and After market axles. If you are going for any lockers or gear drive diffs fine spline are a must. It would be also good to use Pre 82 CV's. Will require machining and a bush. Some use county CV's wich are strongest but are more expensive when they go Bang:eek:
Not sure if 24 spline spiders fit 10 spline rangie diffs. I think the carier bearigs are larger. If you do any of this your CWP's will have to be set up again.
Depends on budget and intended use how you go about this one.
Cheers RR.

Rangies had the same CV's till pre 88 not 82;)



The late smaller CV's are 32 spline not 23 spline

If you change your CV's, you will render your ABS useless

Wouldn't bother changing spider gears, buy some diffs complete...Not in Vic are you, I got some 24 spline diffs complete:D

For some strange reason LRA told me 82. My appologies...
How do you strengthen a 93 CV? Guess I'm lucky mine is pre ABS. as runing Maxi"s 4:11 Cwps and 35s

Fit early CV's as you said, I tried county CV's blew one outer bell and snapped one end spline of the other

Whats the life expectancy of the smaller cv's with a 4.6 and 33"s? I dont really want to loose the ABS.

Would love those 24 spline diffs but im in perth.

How's it get driven?

[Lucus]

Im pretty easy on it. I got sick of changing diffs and cv's in my 86. I did do a lot of rock hopping in the old girl tho.

[rovercare]

They'll be fine;)

Its only freight!:) What EFI set up are you runing on the 4.6. I have found one but has old 3.5 set up, Not so good.:eek:

I had a 93 Range Rover (Vogue plus, the 'Aquarangie') and the rear axles can be a direct repalcement from the 10 spline (hard to get in the guise) to a 24. After some buggering around, you can do this without too many hassles. The bearings etc.. are identical, just the side gears are 10 not 24 (I know, I bkew the original 10 spline to bits in Aquarangie in less than 6 months, more my driving style :(:()

Best Rangie I've ever owned overall, **** I miss it :(:(:(:(

Thanks for the info Trav. Mines a 93 plus pack. EVERYTHING works 100% (even the abs and sun roof!) I had an 86 before the 93 and the 93 has confirmed everything i love about them. I quite and comfortable on the road and well its a range rover offroad....:twisted:I cannot get over how much better quality the interior is in the 90's model classics....Im hanging for a lwb 95 softdash to pop up.......:angel:

I recently fitted my LRA flares and snorkel, got a body lift to go in then i might spend some time and $'s on the suspension.

Nuthing like the cammed wolf injected 4.6.......Yeah i love this car......
