-Pair of Front Halfshafts

Our new generation of Heavy Duty halfshafts are made from “4340” Alloy Steel and are supplied with a FIVE YEAR replacement warranty against breakage.

These shafts are 24 spline at the diff and 23 spline at the CV, note they will not fit the stock 300 TDi onwards CV joints. Please see the application guide for more info.

NOTE : Over 3,000 pairs of this new design of front shaft sold since October 05.

In addition to our normal front shafts which are made of the 4340 material we have made a limited quantity of these shafts in 300M material. This 300M is in theory only about 20% stronger but is much more elastic, we have also reduced the main shank diameter down by 2mm to ensure the whole shaft can flex and we have no stress concentrations at the spline ends. These are aimed at competition users that can’t afford a shaft failure mid race.

-Thick Flange Rear Shafts (OSR)  Pair of Early style Rear Halfshafts

Our new generation of Heavy Duty halfshafts are made from “4340” Alloy Steel and are now supplied with a FIVE YEAR replacement warranty against breakage

These shafts are made to fit the earlier “thick” hub driver (18mm) as fitted to the 200 TDI and earlier vehicles.

Our rear shafts will need a pair of separate outer drive flanges if you don’t already have them.

-Thin Flang Rear Shafts (NSR)  Pair of Late style Rear Halfshafts

Our new generation of Heavy Duty halfshafts are made from “4340” Alloy Steel and are now supplied with a FIVE YEAR replacement warranty against breakage

These shafts are made to fit the later “slim” hub driver (15mm) as fitted to the 300 TDI vehicles.

Our rear shafts will need a pair of separate outer drive flanges if you don’t already have them. Halfshafts for the 90 rear up to Vin No LA930456 have seperate flanges so it will not be necessary to replace your existing flanges unless you wish to upgrade to our heavy duty flanges. Halfshafts after this Vin number have integral flanges so it will be necessary to purchase both the halfshafts and the 859 drive flanges.

The halfshafts and drive members we provide are warranted against BREAKAGE, not against wear caused by ‘fretting corrosion’ of the spline/drive member interface. This ‘fretting corrosion’ is a direct result of lack of lubrication, a design fault, and is common on grease filled hubs. We therefore recommend removing the half shaft seal to allow oil to migrate along the half shaft to keep the spline lubricated.

- Salisbury Early 

We are now able to offer Early Style for the 90/110 Salisbury Rear Axle. These halfshafts are sold with our 5 YEAR replacement warranty against breakage.

Early Style – to suit earlier 110’s up to and including the 200 tdi Defender.

- Salisbury Late 

We are now able to offer Late Style Heavy Duty Rear Halfshafts for the 90/110 Salisbury Rear Axle. These halfshafts are sold with our 5 YEAR replacement warranty against breakage

The half shafts and drive members we provide are warranted against BREAKAGE, not against wear caused by ‘fretting corrosion’ of the spline/drive member interface. This ‘fretting corrosion’ is a direct result of lack of lubrication, a design fault, and is common on grease filled hubs, we therefore recommend removing the half shaft seal to allow oil to migrate along the half shaft to keep the spline lubricated.

Application – to suit later 300 tdi and pre 2002 Td5 110 rear axles.

- Series Shafts

We have manufactured a small quantity of shafts, made to our heavy duty specification in ‘4340’ alloy steel. These are designed to fit the rear axle of a Series 3 SWB 88″ rover axle and are 24 spline at the diff end and 24 spline at the flange end. To fit these shafts you will also need :

Seal, 2 x RTC 3516 (number superceded from GHS1007)

Cap, 2 x 219098
