Thread: Drive Hub

Chris FRC5806 is the part number for the genuine drive flange so I would think TF5806 would be the Terrafirma equivalent.

You're correct there Brian, I didn't word that very well.
I just wanted to make sure that it was the correct part (seems to be) and the number of splines was correct.

Does the perentie have 24 splines half shafts front and back?

I've heard that Terrafirma is a good brand, can anyone confirm?
Price is quite reasonable. $25 ea + delivery = $170 to get 4 delivered from england compared to $243 ea for Land rover ones or $12 ea for Bearmach/Allmakes.

HA! Who did you hear that from?

If there isn't massive wear in the flanges I don't see any point in replacing them. Just keep some OEM spares with you, easy enough to replace.

Had a few people over the years tell me TerraFirma is good. You seem to be saying they are not?

There is a fair bit of wear in all 4. I figured if it all has to be pulled apart to change the rotor (what a dumb design ) I may as well get them done at the same time if the cost was not too high)

additional question. Rear brake shoes: is there a leading and trailing shoe or are they both the same?
I got new shoes fitted last week and the pedal feels like a sponge and it pulls up much slower than it used to.
Trying to figure out why. cylinders were replaced (delphi) as well as the springs. The drums are out of spec and have a ridge on them (being replaced today if they show up ) but I still think it should stop better than it does.

Ok NOT from personal experience, but from what I have read of others they seem to be worth the price. Ie, you get what you pay for.

I was almost going to buy some second hand terrafirma +2" shocks but they only had front ones so I didn't bother. I guess it just comes down to what your budget is.

If you pump the pedal a second time when braking does the pedal go hard and braking performance improve? If yes, have you tried adjusting the shoes? If they've mixed up leading and trailing shoes (which there are) you won't be able to adjust them properly.

Pumping the pedal doesn't do anything, just stays soft.
I have a vague idea of how to adjust the shoes, but not enough to be confident in doing it on my own.

How can you tell the difference between the shoes?
Very experienced Land Rover mechanic did the job, but everyone can make a mistake.
Drums arrived today (too late to be fitted it ) and I need to get something cut off my back tomorrow so no driving me for me until the stitches come out in 2 weeks.
Guess I'll wait till then, get the drums changes and see if that fixes it.

I was hoping to find something local in the $50-100 range.

Just heard back from MR Automotive. They have the Hi Tuff flanges (which @ 140 ea which is a lot but apparently they are the best.

I have a few weeks to ponder now, but if anyone finds something mid-range that would be great!

Also that part number FRC5806 - is that for the Heavy Duty one as fitted to the Perentie, or do I have to be really careful looking at the photo to make sure it's the correct 'deep' type flange?
