chris2010 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I have 300 tdi 24 spline axles fitted at present Will I be able to fit early 24 spline ashcroft shafts and cvs ? Some have come up but I don't want to buy if I can fit them ? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 The early CVs have a longer shaft on them (the earlier hubs are wider). So I don't think they will fit. The shafts, I can't remember 100% off the top of my head, but I think there is only one type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Idris Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I understood the same. One axel case (ish), one half shaft length, two hub/stub styles, two flange types (depth and Bolt PCD). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofy2404 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 It depends on your centre portion. I bought ashcroft shafts cv's and drive flanges for my challenge landy and it's totally worth it! I have not broken a halfshaft or cv since. And I have 35" tyres, ARB airlockers driven by a tuned 3.9. I have shattered my front ARB diff after a jump but ashcroft still going.

robertspark Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 current + previous discussions here on CV's with some detail: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=91222 short answer, no early ashcroft CV's wont fit a 300TDI axle which uses thin driving members, because the stubs on an early CV are long (as landroversforever stated). The pictures on ashcrofts + KAMs websites show the differences clearly in driving member shaft lengths. The ashcroft shafts will also be 23 spline (at the CV end), and the 300TDI are a fine spline which enters the CV (32 spline [may be 33!, too much information, but defiantly a fine spline]), where as the early CV's (AEU2522) upon which the ashcroft early CV's / spider are based were a courser spline (23) CV.

Ex Member Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 All of the aftermarket CV joints are 23 spline on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
