CURLY Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 hi there, was just wondering what the point was in the salisbury axles on a 110? i know its heavier duty than the standard axle, but range rovers had normal axles and they weighed more didn't they? just wondered really..

GBMUD Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 110s have a greater MAM than a Range Rover (3050kg (or 3500kg) rather than, IIRC, 2700kg) and are more heavy duty - i.e. considered more likely to spend time fully laden. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CURLY Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 oh, i have loads of slack in my rear diff and shafts, and was going to put one of my many other rear axles on it instead, but they aren't salisburys. maybe i wont bother! he he thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CURLY Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 is there any way of takingh up the slack in the diff? theres a bit of back and forth play in the half shaft end plate things too. i probably have about a 1/4 of a turn of slack on the prop shaft.. cheers, CURLY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escape Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 and as of TD5 they all had rover rear axle's so confusing... Not all of them, some 110 TD5s still have a salisburry rear axle. Just to add to the confusion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 From the 2002MY (so some time late 2001 IIRC) 110s had a beefed up version of the Rover rear axle. This came in the same time as the centre console dash and the one piece rear door. Earlier Td5 110s had a Salisbury axle as per older 110s.

However all the internal parts are HD kam stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jai_landrover Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Id be very surprised if it was Kam internals although I remember reading somwhere that some special order wolfs did have Kam internals so may be. Rear disk brakes were standard circa 1992 and most defenders were disk braked only earlier 90s, 110s etc were drum braked to Ka I think. Anything after that salisbury or otherwise were all disk braked. Anything after disk braked salisbury I assume is all 24 spline and so HD, as for fronts 10 spline shafts until 1992 or 1995 (it may be later possibly 300tdi) 1995 when they changed to weaker CV joints but went 24 spline diff centers Jai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 from around mid to late '94 Salisbury rear axles gained rear discs brakes, since then all 110 have had disc rear axles either Salisbury type or the later Rover type, as stated above.

CURLY Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 so does anyone know, or is it even posible to take up the slack in the diff on a sailsbury axle then? CURLY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoover Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 so does anyone know, or is it even posible to take up the slack in the diff on a sailsbury axle then? CURLY "Thats not slack sir, they all do that" I understand you can alter the preload settings by using shims etc but you will need a few special tools.
