roguevogue Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Can someone remind me which front shafts are prefered as the strongest/most convenient. It's been a long time since I have had anything to do with LR axles and i'm a bit out of touch. I think the percieved wisdom was to use AEU2522 CVs but what vehicle/age shafts? All help gratefully accepted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 AEU2522 CVs are the strongest LR parts... but really want to be with a strong 24 spline diff such as an ARB. But you can't get standard shafts to fit the 23spline CV to the 24 spline diff. EDIT: the CVs are from early 110/90 axles AFAIK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Using AEU2522 (ie. 23 spline) CVs means that you have to use 10-spline (at the diff end) half shafts. If you use a later (ie. 32 spline) CV, not as strong, then you can use either 10-spline shafts or 24-spline shafts. The latter being stronger of course. The only way to use the stronger 23-spline CVs and 24-spline shafts/diffs is to use aftermarket shafts, Ashcrofts etc. The later CVs (300Tdi on for Defenders) had a different profile, as well as being shorter, due to different stub axle designs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguevogue Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Thanks for the swift and concise replies chaps, my next question then is, does anyone have any 23/10 spline shafts laying about that I might procure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Range Rover Blues Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Somewhere I've got a complete set of 200 TDi front halfshafts, CVs, stubs axles and hubs, all with new bearings and seals. They fit into the RRC axle casing but they didn't fit my alloys. so I took them back off. Got spare halfshafts with them. Somewhere......
