goaty Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hi, I recently stumbled upon a spare front axle, its a 1996 300tdi defender front axle with vented discs but i have a problem with one of the output shafts. I thought it may have been the drive flange having its thread stripped but it turns out it is the CV shaft thats got ruined splines. Now i am planning on fixing it but i am unsure how and which part i need to buy, can anyone help? Also is it worth buying the cheaper pattern parts or is my money better going on a Hardy spicer or similar, which are double the cheaper ones. Any info and help.....please. thanks joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
