Thread: Perentie heavy duty rear drive flanges

    Perentie heavy duty rear drive flanges

    Good evening all, thinking of putting heavy duty drive flanges on a perentie. I've just returned from Vic high country and lost one of the rear plastic caps. Thought heavy duty drive flanges would be better.

    1. Anyone recommend a brand of flanges? There seem to be a few out there.
    2. Should I replace axles with heavy duty ones at the same time?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I have them.

    But now in favour of using the LR part as a sacrificial component of the drive train. Keep a couple of spares flanges and circlip pliers in vehicle. Easier to change than a shaft or CV.

    Also look at making the bearings and drive flange oil fed to extend its life.

    I agree on using heavier duty axles and keeping the standard drive flanges and rubber caps. Rubber caps are cheap and last several years at least if you buy the genuine ones.

    I’d go heavy duty axles and drive flanges.....my old defer never needed a sacrificial drive flange and never damaged anything upstream.

    Can think of better things to do than replace a drive flange in the side of the track.

    I dont think I ever saw a stripped out flange on a perentie when I was fixing them for a living,

    plenty of fried halfshafts and the odd Diff..

    They don’t work as a sacrificial part. They fail from wear not from overload.

    Thats where the screw cap flanges are good. No oil leaks.

    That’s what I meant. They wear faster than or before a HD shaft will wear.

    I bought a 300tdi diff, and when I got it Hm found a previous owner had welded the flange to the end of the shaft. Because the flange was worn. Perentie heavy duty rear drive flanges
