heath robinson Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hi all. Quick question. I'm replacing the front axle on my 110, with a vented-disk one. I think that I'm right in saying that radius rods have to change too, as the bushes are 54mm instead of 48mm. Is this the only change? What about the bushes for the panhard rod, and the chassis-end of the radius rod? Also, are the brake pipes the same? Thanks Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrat Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Jake,if there is not a problem with the axle, buy vented calipers and vented disks its easier and cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 To answer your question, as long as you have the right radius arms (i.e. wide ones for the later axle) then all should be well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 you could always just change the axle ends as i did on mine and do the same job-or as king rat has said-just buy the disks and calipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heath robinson Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Thanks guys I need a whole one, as the front right wheel became overly intimate with a significant proportion of a polo... A new axle is in the offing, however I do it, so thought I'd get a nice newish one. Am I right in thinking that the vented 110 axles had the 24 spline gubbins? Also, I'm re-building the truck in general, and probably going to do a disc conversion on the salisbury, a là this post, so getting a whole one would cut out a lot of faffing. I've got and adjustable Panhard rod, and can get the radius rods with the axle. My main concern was that if too many of the bushes are different, then the Superpro kit I have for the rebuild might be less of a bargain than I thought... If it's just the radius bushes, I can get them reasonably, and flog the ones from the kit. Panic over. Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiny Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 The only bushes that are different are the radius arm bushes at the axle end. they need to be 45mm wide rather than 40mm wide. Everything else is the same if i recall correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
