Rear axle question
Seen an rear axle for a 2003 TD5 90

Will it fit my 1985 90 ok?

To me it will but I just wanted to check Confused

Thanks Thumbs Up Chris

Yes, but it will have the wider radius arms.

Rear trailing arms are the same, it is the front radius arms that changed (commonly known as narrow / wide on early / late vehicles respectively).

Yes it will fit fine.
I fitted a 1995 Disco axle to the rear of my 1986 90 back in 2004 but 2-years ago I replaced it with a 2014 Defender rear axle and everything bolted straight on (even the brake line). ONE LIFE, GET IT!
