was a nice truck? Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Hi all, Silly q coming Is it possible to tell what cvs i have without reaching for spanners. Iknow the axle no. is wrong for the componenents as i have changed both stub assys. previously and discarded the relevant center tube . If what i have read on this forum is correct (usually is IMHO) Then i need 23/24spline 200tdi cvs. Help please Thanx DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK 200TDi would be 32/24spline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Are we referring to a Defender or Disco here? If it's a Defender, then AFAIK the following should be correct: For pre-Defender up to axle no 20L48865, the half shafts will be AEU2520(RH) & AEU2521(LH), being 10 spline at the diff end and 23 spline at the CV end. CV joint is AEU2522 (the stongest of the factory offerings). Pre-Defender through 200tdi Defender and up to almost 300tdi Defender (axle no 20L48866 onwards), the half shafts will be RTC6754(RH) & RTC6755(LH), being 10 spline at the diff end and 32 spline at the CV end. CV joint will be RTC6862. From VIN LA930456 to WA159806 (basically all of 300tdi), the half shafts will be STC3049(RH) & STC3050(LH), being 24 spline at the diff end and 32 spline at the CV end. CV joint will be RTC6862. From VIN XA159807 (I assume to be TD5 onwards), the half shafts will be TDC000020(RH) and TDC000030(LH). I think the splines are the same as 300tdi. CV joint will be TDJ000010. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
was a nice truck? Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Thanks Chaps AFAIK(just figured that out!! Doh!!) they are td 90. They are def 10 spline at the diff end and not 300 tdi stubs so i would be prepareds to guess i have the best of lrs factory fit. Hope so truck is going to inverness in feb runnin 33 12.50 15 mt's.

will_warne Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Easy way to tell is look at the drive flange on the front axle; if its the earlier wide one then its an AEU2522, if its a narrow one its a later type (and is weaker) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

was a nice truck? Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 Thanks Will ,read your post and sighed with releif. Both are thick flanges. Then read Daves post BU##er.!!

Michele Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I'm getting a tad confused now... ...what's inside the axle off a '86 Diesel Turbo 90 then? I dismantled the housings,10 splines to the diff and thick flanges outside... AEU2522s as I hope? (need to sell them to raise money,erm) Edited to say that: 2522s by 'cat I'll measure them anyway to be sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, M, that should use AEU2522s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneten110 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 If you want the best of all the options, use a post 2000 axle case featuring not only the larger radius arm bushes but also larger panhard rod bushes and a straight panhard rod. Then go to Ashcrofts, they do a half shaft that will enable you to run 24 spline at the diff end and 23 spline at the CV joint, then use their CV joints (assuming they are available now) or the LR 2522 CV with Ashcroft drive flanges. bung a 4 pin diff in the middle and it should be a pretty tough front axle.

At that age (1986) i'm sure they should be AEU2522's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
