Scotts90 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Looking for some advice/info guys... After being royally screwed on an ebay purchase of a 300tdi axle, I am now looking at a defender td5 front axle to replace my original. It's an 02 off a 90' non ABS. I know the radius arms are the thicker type, the panhard rod may also be thicker as I believe they changed for 02 onwards? Apart from the bearing setup being different in the hubs is there any other difference? I'm fitting alloys and don't want to use spacers, hence the change. Rear axle already upgraded.

Litch Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I'm doing the same to my 1986 90. Bought a NOS TD5 front axle a couple of weeks ago and as far as I can tell it is a straight swop apart from the radius-arms and the breather (it is the push-fit type on the later axle). Out of the crate mine is fully dressed and just needs the paint rubbing off the discs, filling with fluids and away you go. I have checked the flexi-hoes and they are the same thread as my SS hoses so as far as I can see it should just swop straight across.
