Landrovernuts Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 If I was to change the front axle on a TD5 110 to an earlier axle casing (1989 thicker drive flanges), is there any issue with Panhard Rod sizes (bush/bolt sizes)? This may seem a backward step - but believe me it is not in this case! I think everything else changes over with no issues, but feel free to correct me if wrong. I would rather know now, than as I am swapping them. I know alloys will not fit over the earlier drive flanges, but is not an issue here.

Maverik Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 An 89 axle might still have the narrow style of radius arms you'd have to check it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landrovernuts Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 No ABS, but had forgotten about radius arms - will check now! Thanks Toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landrovernuts Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Anyone know if there is an issue with the Panhard Rod not fitting? Toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotts90 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I did the opposite...I have an 02 td5 front on my 90, no issues with the HD panhard rod which I had fitted to the '86 axle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW8IZR Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I fairly recently did some swapping round of bits from a 1996 Discovery to a 1985 90, the panhard rod, bushes and bolts all interchanged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landrovernuts Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Thanks all - just need to get the thin radius arms and then get on with it! Toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litch Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 You shouldn't have any issues there, most people are swopping the other way and some can hardly give the thin ones away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
