Thread: what's this bracket ?

Have a look at the other side of your axle housing, you'll find another one there, but your steering will be attached to it :wink:

that way you don't need LHD and RHD axle housings :wink:

Hmm, sneaky. So LR did something sensible when they designed that part at least.

So it should be strong enough then, buy the look of it.
It shouldn't actually be carryiong any load, only if and when the diff protector comes loose and falls off.

Sounds about right. IT should be good for that as long as it can't foul in the control arms.

Not steering, its for the parnhard rod (3rd suspension link).

Dave.

correct dave.
vlad, i wouldn't. if you install the diff guard properly with either loktite or nylock nuts, it wont come off unless it's torn off. then it wont be worth saving and it would have done it's job.
you can bet that if it did fall off and it was attached to that bracket, that by some freak of physics it would find a way to get caught around your front uni and really stuff things up.

All those suspension bits - its all so confusing.
No wonder I like the old Harleys - before the "soft tail".
Bit hard on the arse, but.

Don't know about the bracket old chum, but I see it has the requisite rust preventative ..
