Thread: Which is more gooderer ! 93 RRC ABS or 93 D1 non-abs .

Good question!
Who knows But I guess LR fitted the Railco to get a more accurate position for the tone ring vs the sensor after some wear, as earlier RRCs have bearings top and bottom. So maybe the bush, but what does it cost to rebuild one vs the bearing?
I never knew this one.

Thanks Phillip A , and just to complicate matters a little further , ive got a a 24 spline diff and axle setup (but only the long side spin housing !!!)that came out of 96 D1 Non ABS (Didnt all D1 's have ABS by 1996 ?), so perhaps would like to fit them as well . Looks like what I really need is the spin housings / balls off a 95 to 98 D1 , but would a Non-abs or ABS be better ?
Will fit Ashcroft axles and CV's later on so it will end up non-ABS anyway .

I think the ones with bearings top and bottom are cheaper to overhaul (the bearings being cheaper than replacing bushes/pins).

If you're heading for upgraded axles/CV's later on, and you're not after ABS then consider the Rovingtracks (formerly Rovertracks) "Longtracks" axle/CV setup. Much cheaper than Ashcroft CV's and upgraded axles.

No. I have a plain jane 98 D1 that has no ABS, windbags or any variety of safety feature.

So was ABS more than likely optional on D1 's ? Maybe standard on D2's 1999 onwards ? So the rovingtracks CV's and axles are a lot cheaper ,are they just as good as the Ashcrofts ?
