Hybrid_From_Hell Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 As with all things LR there are a selection of hubs and stub shafts, Whilst all hubs are interchangable, front to back only if they are the same front and back and the same as what you have that your changing if to and for If that makes sense ?

teslo Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hi, how does halfshaft look like? Rear are from one piece? Front hub flanges are separate from shaft? Are you sure that those 4 mm are only difference( bolt holes for driving members are same)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
