Thread: New Member-1st Real Q. 1991 RR - rear axles

Maxidrive axles seem to be a very popular choice.

If you do a quick search on that you're sure to find all the info you need.


Best of Luck.


Harvs.

i have seen standard axels with lockers and without that have been strengthened by welding long wedge shaped bars across the length of the axel.

I often thought about doing this but don't know how complicated it gets.
I have seen a pic here on AULRO with one that has been done.
I think it might be Sith's but I am old an forgetful.

look here

I dont mean as excessive as this but you get the idea

What you're talking about is reinforcing the axle housing, not the axles (half shafts).

As mentioned above Ironbarks, maxi drive axles are the go. Not sure if 91 RR has 10 spline or 24 spline axles though, but I have a feeling they're 24.

jeez Steve, axles are those hard bits of metal inside the housing Shaped like rod
Go the maxidrives I just tore the outer splines of of my originals .If you are running bigger tyres you will increase the chance of busting them or the CV's, try going the LR County CV's as they are the strongest LR have made. Buy the Drive Flanges or members aswell as they really make a difference...
Laminating the housing just reduces clearence unless your in competition type rock roughness.

yer, yer I know that

I have just always called the "housing" the axle and the "axles" the drive shafts. Maybe it's the pomme in me or maybe I'm just a bit slow.

I'll try to keep up
