Ben Jordan Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I want to put a locker in the rear of my Rangie but before doing that i want to fit a 24 spline axle. There is a "Wolf" rear axle for sale on e-bay Here Is it worth having? and how much are they worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Ben I had one fitted to my old 90. Absalutely great bit of kit, I fitted a Detroit to it and was well happy. I then sold the 90 and regretted not changing the axle. The new owner then sold the axle for in excess of £400 I think. I was totaly amazed at the price. Be aware the drive members are about £70 IIRC so not to cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Jordan Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 Come on, everybody on here has an opinion. Is it worth having? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 i thought the wolf axles had a locker in them???..........and this has no mention of one. Nah that's prob just when the diff ****s itself and then doesn't "differentiate" any more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 lockers def not fitted as std to Wolfs apart from Jerry Can ones............ before someone adds it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro_Al Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 If you are really interested, offer him 300 quid and see what he says - I notice he says there's lots of interest, but no bids when I checked... Thats got to be a good price if you don't already have discs - careful though, or you'll screw the brake balance and have too much rear bias with discs at the back and drums on the front. People pay nearly that much for just the diffs sometimes. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Jordan Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 I would put it on a '90 Range rover classic. So ive got disk brakes all round. The only problem is the Rangie has a secondary brake system, Would it be better to put the Rangie calipers on this axle? The "Wolf" axle does not have a locker as i have one under the back of my "Wolf". I know these axles don't have a standard Land rover diff, So which one does it have?

Guest WALFY Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 IIRC when I purchased the locker for my axle it was a P38 diff. Hope that helps. I still have the diff centre that I took out if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what diff would be in there then does any rover diff fit into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D9OSV Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 (edited) Any Rover diff will fit apart from Salisbury of course. It has a p38 fitted as standard (Shorter in the nose) THe axle is very heavy. And as some have said of it .... "Don't bother, If you want a snow plough, buy a snow plough" Kinda think they are talking about all that carp welded underneath. However, you ain't gona break it Jim Ps: How yer doing Mark? Well i hope. Still got that Compo? Edited December 6, 2005 by D9OSV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
