10 and 24 spline axles

abcdedd · Oct 28, 2013

Hi guys,

i couldnt find the answer to my question by searching so was wondering if you could help..

I have gone and bought myself a discovery axle for the rear of my defender so i can achieve disk breaks to make the thing actually stop!

But am planning on keeping my current front axle for the moment, now im fairly sure that leaves me with 10 spline on the front and 24 on the rear? am i correct? If so, is that a problem, or does it mess around with gearing ect?

Many thanks in advance!

No as long as the diffs are the same ratio ( which they should be) it will make no diff..erence

my 90 has 24 rear and 10 spline front and have had no issues with it

It's the front brakes that do most of the work when you brake,a good upgrade on a pre defender 90 is to fit 110 calipers.

you will be grand, in fact you will have more mechanical face touching on the splines so they are stronger under tugh conditions, and if your were lucky you might even have a 4 pin diff if you back axle is from a 110!

How do you identify a pin diff?

4 pin look like this

If you open the diff housing, you will see if you looked directly in, at 12 o clock, 3, 6, and 9 a circle at each point they all look the exact same (like just the end of a metal pin) the picture above looks like a proper lsd. If its 2 pin you will just see 2 pins i think at 3, and 9.
