Jon W Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 On a defender but with discovery axles so bear with me. My defender is a bit of a bitsa but I want to try and standardise parts to make things easier when buying replacement parts. Discovery 10spline axle with wide radius arms. Swivels which have the bearing on the top swivel pin. i want to rebuild the swivels now but also want to change to a 24spline diff in the future. Are the swivels the same on 10 and 24spline? When I replaced the stub axles there was confusion on which stub axles to use as the inner oil seal stopped the drive shaft coming out far enough to meet the drive member. So I have run it without the stub axle inner oil seal can I find part numbers just from the axle casing number as I don’t have the original vehicle details any help much appreciated Thanks Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 There is nothing to be gained with 24 spline genuine shafts. They are weaker than the 10 spline shafts. If you want to go stronger, you need aftermarket 24/23 spline shafts and suitable CV joints. What you have in there now is anyone's guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
