If you choose to keep it, disco 300 front axel is the same as the defender 300 front (as far as I'm aware).
There's a chap in gunnislake who breaks discos. Like just a hobbiest rather than a proper commercial breaker. His pricing is nowhere near Barney what's his name down at that place beginning with A (memory isn't working well tonight)

No they're not the same radius arm lugs are wider on one of them.
You're right. Does that matter if you are doing the axel and the arm as a set?
Or do you mean that it's fatter where it bolts up to the chassis at the back?

You've given me the fear now, so I went and checked -
I mean this is a 3rd party and the arms do seem to be different part numbers. Is it because they're poly bush that the difference is at the axel end, and with a split bush, it doesn't matter?
If that's the case (it might not be!) I'm still thinking it would be fine to swap the axel and arms as a set?

IIrc the body bushes fit but the axle ones dont, you need to be careful as some axles have imperial threads & some metric
so when it comes to fitting the caliper carrier ect they can differ, then it becomes a head ache to remember which is fitted.
yer been here before lol
Yer youd be fine fitting the full bhuna.

ive been told, by a few landrover specialists that ive approached about looking at it.. that if its taken a knock on wheel in way it has, i should look to changing the hub or beter still the full axle as they often have hairline cracks etc.
The hub, i was thinking about as a possible issue.. but didnt consider axle casing as such.. so again is about covering all angles if needed
