BogMonster Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Minor differences like the bottom shock absorber bushes are different on 300s (easily altered to the 200 type bushes though you will need new shockers to do it properly as the pin on the bottom is a different length) - I don't think there is anything that can't be modified to suit. There might be no anti roll bar brackets on the 200 axles, but the main suspension pickup points should be the same and the diff should fit OK. The only other thing I am not sure about is where the calipers bolt on, check that is OK or if not you could fit a set of 200 calipers.

fender1234 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 the caliper bolts for the 200tdi are imperial i think 7/16" whereas the 300 are metric m12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStu Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Thats correct, in my experience there seems to be very little difference in the casings themselves, caliper bolt thread size and mud shield fitting points are all I can recall. All the major differences are in the components like stub axles, bearing assy's etc. Stu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
