Different Diffs

Nov 16, 2006 5 Replies

Hi all, with reference to Range Rover's ( Classic's ) there are two different shaped axle cases:- round with drain plug at bottom, and flat bottomed with drain to one side, what other differences are there between these ratios suspension points ect:-



Rich


Not a lot, the flat bottomed one is the later one and it may coincide with the addition of an extra bolt (seven in all) holding the swivel housing to the axle casing on each side, also to the addition of anti-roll bar fittings. Ratios of the diffs and suspension points are all the same I think.

Would the diffs be interchangeable and is this the point they changed the splines on the half shafts ?

Rich

I'd be guessing on the splines but you could always change the halfshafts as well I suppose.
