  1. Thanks for reply, yeah i presume the axles are both straight, but the original axle is already painted and attached etc, with new bushes all round so I'll prob just leave orginal on. Is there any diffrence between the axles I.e. strength wise etc? Many thanks
  2. Hi yeah I could that be the easier option , but I was thinking the 24 spline option might be a better choice I could either swap the whole axle or change the diff and components etc . not sure what be the easier option ha
  3. OK for the Hassel of taking the front disco axle off, clean it and prep and paint it I might just swap the diff and hub etc over, so I take it they shud fit the orginal TD axle? As I presume it's just a case of changing diff and undoing stub axle bolts and putting straight on original. And there fore I'll have a 24 splined front axle and 10 spline rear (which I can change another time if needed) Many thanks
  4. Can I have a 24 spline on front and 10 spline on the back? That won't effect the ratio/ cause problems would it? I read all coil sprung defenders have same ratio diffs, so it should.be alright hey. Many thanks
  5. Yeah i think that's whats happening I best not drive til sorted then I guess haha. I'll get some photos taken tomorrow. I have 3 sets of 300tdi disco axles here at home, you reckon I could utilize the halfshafts / drive flange of them at fit them on the front so the alloy could fit? Many thanks
  6. Thanks for replies. The people who did the tracking said it's within tolerance but never mentioned the camber, so they mustn't have seen it. but I checked the face of the disc on the back with a mate holding a pencil off the hub just shy of touching the disc as I span it, and it ran true all around. Funny u say about the wheels might not fit propley, not sure if it's conicendence but not sure what axle I have but where the plastic land rover cap usually fits over the hub on the boost alloy, my front wheels don't as the hub sticks too far out and left with showing through the alloy? Maybe the alloys are incompatible with my hub, Is that standard that the front caps don't fit? Many thanks
  7. Hi Hope you can help. Just been driving me rebuild around last couple weeks. Got it tracked (doubt this is the cause) and I've noticed the 2 front wheels were wobbling/out of alignment. I jacked 2 front wheels up and noticed both when I spin it the camber pitch changes depending what point it stops.There not much play (3,6,9,12 oclock), wheels are put on correctly, even tried spare tyre thought it might be the alloy. I have also noticed neg camber when stationary but thought it wud just be wear and tare or spin at the same pitch. I know something isn't right, the disk spins centrally though the caliper. The defender used to go off roading before I bought it so bent axle crossed my mind, but if the axle had bent wouldnt the camber pitch stay the same as i drive it? Many thanks
  8. Thanks maverick, I've parked up knocked Tb into neutral And While Stationary I Went Through The Gears. There didn't seem to be any noise so I take it its could be what u mentioned as above. I dnt know if this makes a difference but I noticed my passengerside wheel has a neg camber, and thinking on while i rebuilt the defender one of the steering bars (the one that goes directly to the passenger hub was bent (must have had whack) so maybe it cud be bearing related. Many thanks for your time
  9. Yeah the front one is about 2 splines "out" as when i took it apart forgot which spline it went in so they wudnt push bacj in, until a certain point (about 45 degrees) and it slide in. But the uj seemed tight. Many thanks
  10. Yeah the front prop is at an angle, tbh there was only one way it slip in, and the rear is straight.
  11. Thanks for that reply maverick. I'll have a look at the weekend, when u say transfer box in neutral, whats the best way to do that, get towed or I'd have to be rolling down a hill and check if the sound is still there. Sorry I'm new to land rovers Many thanks
  12. Hi gerrymandering, yeah i think if I let of acceletor and coast or depress clutch down the noise die's down :/ Many thanks
  13. Hi thanks for replies. Maverick I've gone through the the gears (inc reverse) it still makes the noise, I'll try neutral when I drive it again. The cv joints are all new (rebuild) but the diff isn't, so I think that's were I'll be looking next. Many thanks
  14. Hi I know there loads of posts on the typical defender rumbles and noises I've just got my rebuild.on the road and noticed a rumbly kind of noise seems from the front (not constant, in like a waves and increases with speed). It starts off pretty much as I take off from stationary and kind of becomes less noticeable as I get faster. But when I put foot on clutch or coast to a lower speed it tends to go. I've checked ujs and phrase of props and they seem to be all tight and not much play. I'm thinking maybe transfer box? Buy it engages into Hi and low really well, and drives/pulls well. Many thanks Many thanks
  15. Thanks for reply litch, I thought that be the case. for a cheaper option I'll try find a lighter Spring so it's not as heavy. But I'll keep an eye out for a cheap 2nd hand one. Many thanks
