NicTheOrange90 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 My 90 has rear drum brakes, and now has a V8, so as I have just scrapped my D1 300tdi, I intend to put the Disco back axle onto the 90. There is a lot of advice on getting the Disco axle in to the 90 (need to get an STC4858 Diff flange kit to convert the diff to accept the 90 prop)...so wont go there, BUT the Disco had ABS. Is it OK to use this axle by removing the wires into the rear brakes or is there something else I need to do? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Not 100% sure but just removing the wheel sensors & associated wiring seems about all that is needed to make it a standard non-abs axle/brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige90 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Would'nt have thought it'd make any odds. The ABS side of things only comes into it when it's wired up, until then it's just an axle with a redundant magnetic sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicTheOrange90 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Thanks guys, Ive ordered the new flange from Ashcroft. As far as I can see the cranked trailing arms from the 90 should fit the Disco axle, at the moment, I have both sets, and might just hang on to both sets until I get the axle on and in place..
