stobbie Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 My rear salisbury axle gets rather hot. Is that normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 If you put it on top of a bonfire, that's pretty normal, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 check the oil level, shouldn't get to hot so you can't touch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Depends where you are and what you're doing with it. Here is Australia, sustained highway driving in summer will easily see the salisbury too hot to hold your hand on for very long, but the front rover diff is noticeably less hot. Top quality full synthetic oil made a significant difference to the temp on the salisbury, but didn't make the same improvement to the rover diff.

stobbie Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 I've driven it at 70 miles an hour for 20 minutes and it is warm but I can easily touch it with my hand. Guess that is normal then, but I will check the oil level today. Maybe I'll change the oil, I'm planning to do a 5000 mile trip with trailer with this car...
