L835 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hi, quick question! I have a scrap 90 that I'm using as a source of spares for my 110, well the front half anyway! Will the rear axle fit a 110, I know it's not as strong but as it's there should I keep it? Thanks Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 90 rear axles aren't rated or strong enough for the rear of a 110. If you've got one, you might as well sell it, or keep the diff for the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 As Luke says, you definitely should not fit a 90 rear axle to a 110. Also, if you intend to use the front, make sure you fit 110 callipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_oakley Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Just a quick question. Why shouldn't you use a 90 rear axle. It may not be "rated" For it but who loads there 110 up to the point you'd be remotely close to the load rate . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_oakley Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Lol ok.. so in effect as long as you don't load the 110 up, ie My truck has the dog in the back and thats about as much weight as it gets, So realistically a 90 axle would be more than save for my 110.

stuck Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I'm sure somebody sensible will be along soon but I'm not sure about that. Given the extra length if axle articulation was at maximum wouldn't that put more stress on the axle? (Longer lever as it were) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 It's not about what it will take load wise, it's about what it is designed and rated to take. The point is, Land Rover have said that axle will happily carry X kg. Your 110 is more than X kg and even though the axle will probably be fine with it, the fact that you're using it not as designed is what would come back to bite you in the backside if there was ever a complication. And by complication I mean some sort of accident and then the police/whoever going over your vehicle with a fine-toothed comb to look for details. Just remember the recent sad case of a yellow 110 and a river. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 So realistically a 90 axle would be more than save for my 110. Realistically, if you fitted a 90 axle to the back of a 110, and were involved in an accident, you would more than likely end up in jail...

chris_oakley Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Im sorry but i didn't hear of that story. But i see what your saying in that respect. I didnt think there would be much weight difference but i guess there probaly is. Probaly best to replace like for like to keep above board etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Definitely not worth the risk. Especially as LR axles are cheap as chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 if the 90 rear axle WAS OK to fit on a 110 then I'm sure LR would have used it when the 110 came on the market in 1983. 110 can carry more payload [inside the load bay] than any 90, plus 110 is a heavier vehicle which also means that weight must be taken in to account too.

nicks90 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 so can someone explain why LR now put a standard landrover housing on the back of new 110 pumas? the only difference is the 4 pin diff instead of 2 pin that you find in normal axle housings. I believe LR only put the salisbury on the back for its diff and shaft strength due to additional loads and NOT because of the housing strength, otherwise how would they be able to use the normal housing on new 110's?

Retroanaconda Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Probably to save money on importing an axle design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jai_landrover Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I believe the axle is double sleeved also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
