Taimanov Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Hi again everyone. thanks again for all the advice on replacing/repairing you gave me a few weeks ago. I've had several exciting deliveries from Frost and other places. I am a touch stuck with working out which axles I have (ultimately I'm trying to buy new U Bolts so want to get the right part). I've looked for the stamp on the axles but it seems to have been worn down on the rear axle (so I can't read it) and has rusted away on the front axle (or is so covered in crud I can't find it). The parts manual is obsessed with Axle suffixes "C", "D" and "E" etc but just can't find out what mine is? I'm a 1977 SIII SWB 2.25 Petrol if it helps. Any advice appreciated please! Many thanks, Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I think it’ll only be the threads that vary, but since you should be fitting new nylon nuts anyway, it’s a moot point. I’d go for an earlier suffix as the post 1980 vehicles went metric, which will be the later suffix. I don’t know what “D” suffix is, so I’d suggest going for “C”.
