Hi all
Need some help in identifying which rear axle I have on my 90...its got discs so is it a defender or discovery axle?
Reason I'm asking is I need disc backing plates...anyone have any spare? Will also be looking for discs
Thanks in advance

What year is your landy But guessing from your post you recon it has had a replacement rear axle?

I had a disc braked rover axle on the back of my 1987 90, I think someone had fitted it off a disco. You don't need disc backing plates BTW and you're better off without them, they're a pain in the arse

Unless half shafts are not original I would say Disco axle. It is the more common swap.
Ps I don't bother with the front brake shields either.

Look like 200tdi disco axles. 300 are more flatter
