western Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 on a Salisbury rear axle similar place on the Rover type front & rear axles. you'll need a wire brush,some rags & some type of cleaning fluid to make them readable, later serial numbers are made up from lines of dots forming the digits, ealrier serial numbers are normal number stamped into the casings.

landkeeper Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 thanks Ralph i have found the numbers on the axles indeed made up with dot punches and not that easy to read . i was hoping someone would have a list so i could cross check them they appear to be late axles with push in breathers and teflon coated swivels and a bolt to hold on the drive flange rather than a big nut front axle reads something like 8E6600W---does that make any sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 dug this list out of my Microcat info for front & rear axle serial numbers, a full list of every serial number isn't given, just the ranges & change points/vehicle model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trulyalya Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Ralph, could you please have the same list for rrc of the mid 80s? My rear axle's serial number is 35532957G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'll get one posted up here over the weekend, just had to re-install all my PC stuff [dead hard drive] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trulyalya Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 any news? how do I tell the diff ratio by axle number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 any news? how do I tell the diff ratio by axle number? best I can find is for a 35 S prefix RR rear axle says ABS & Coil spring suspension. diff ratio will be same as all permanent 4WD LR's from start of RR at 3.54:1 nothing listed in parts info by axle serial number.

trulyalya Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 sounds really confusing, as I don't think my car is equipped with an abs (it's the early type of braking system). do you know by chance which are the major differences between ABS and non-ABS axles? it seem this car is a 'hotchpot', so could it be so that they took an ABS-enabled axle, and installed a non-ABS diff/brakes?

western Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 not 100% sure of the differences between abs & non-abs xales, at a pure guess would reckon just a fitting for the abs sensor to atach to or be bolted too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 ABS axles have the sensor fitted through the top swivel pin, so the pin is different, plus the CV joint has teeth on it to trgger the ABS sensor. As far as I am aware, the calipers and discs are suitable for ABS and non-ABS operation, so basically you bolt them under the truck and run the pipes to the calipers as you would normally. The diff is identical between an ABS and non-ABS axle, unless one is imperial and one metric -which is another story I suspect you have a pair of Rangie Rover axles under there, from a late 80s/early 90s truck, which came equipped with ABS as standard.
