Hi Guys

OK so I came across this forum post in my search - so maybe this is not the right place to ask this, but I like top know what are the difference between these two images.

According to me, the Defenders come out with both Front and Back wheels/shafts looking like my sample photo - Front

FRONT


BACK


Joe


The front wheels have to be able to steer, so they don't have one peice half shafts as they have a CV joint between the hub and the diff. Wink

Did LR ever fit the one piece half shafts to 110s? If not are they rated high enoug for them?

On very late ones yes, and they're now the only one available if you order a half shaft from a main dealer. (unless they have old stock)

Hi guys... does anyone know where to get these from?

I've ordered some from Trek Overland, about £60 a pair.

Thanks Ray, so what you saying is the one piece shaft is better?

This may or may not help.. but did you know that some of the earlier RRC's had solid, not floating, drive shafts in the rear axle.... like these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Range-Rover-clas...SwrklVNBfS

Part Numbers 571882 and 571883... and those are LR part numbers Rolling Eyes I didn't think they looked right either.. but they throw up a few results on a search.. and they even look like halfshafts Thumbs Up RRC 2.4 TD... it's either a stretched 90 or shrunken 110!!

Embarassed I've just been on Microcat and spotted a slight flaw in my plan.. they are 10 spline shafts.. Sad

I believe that your looking for FTC3270 and FTC3271 RRC 2.4 TD... it's either a stretched 90 or shrunken 110!!

Not necessarily. The advantage with the single piece is obviously one less joint to reduce slack in the overall drive. However, in a Two-Piece, if your half shaft snaps or for that matter sheds its teeth you can remove the half shaft, remove the prop to the rear and still be able to drive albeit carefully. If a Single piece snaps AFAIK you are Censored

I could be wrong and I am sure someone with greater experience may know something different. Thumbs Up

PS: With the possible greater amounts of torque being put on the half shafts, do you really want to go down the cheap route. I would go with Ashcrofts every time, but then I haven't had a half shaft go yet although I have spotted some fretting which Ive cleaned up and coated in a layer of High Pressure 'Blackjack' grease(although its got more consistency to tar!)

No reason not to do the same with a single-piece shaft, but you'd need to carry an old drive flange and centre cap if you wanted to be able to pull the shaft out and drive home.

Ashcroft HD halfshafts are warrantied against breakage but not against fretting.

Just for info, as they've only just arrived. The Trek Overland ones aren't one peice shafts, despite having the one peice part numbers. They're just the earlier shafts with the later part number stuck on them by Bearmach.
