AXLES & FLANGES

 - AUSTRALIAN MADE - 

LAND ROVER Rear axles are well known and have a reputation of breaking under even the most mildest of off-road situations. They are even known to on occasion let go on the tarmac daily driving! The mighty Land Rover didnt get coined the title of 'axle snappers' for no reason.

After the STRONGEST axle solution for your rig?

This kit contains 100% Aussie made axles and flanges made from a material called 300m, which is actually a whopping 3X increase in material strength over std axle material! Thats well over over double!!! 300m is the axle material of choice of Trophy Trucksy, Ultra4 Buggies, Crawlers etc etc.

Kit contains:

• 2x Axles (300m)
• 2x Drive Flanges (4140 CHROMOLY)
• 2x Corteco Hub Seals

OIL FED CONVERSION:

It is recommended you convert to oil fed wheel bearings using this kit. This involves removing the brake caliper, undoing the hub nuts, removing the hub & disc as one unit, removing the stub axle...then pulling the axle seal out that is in the back of the stub axle. Refit stub axle, then before refitting the hub & disc assembly, pull the seal out of the back and install the suppled seal...making sure to knock it in below the height of the hub by 4-5mm! Re-install the hub/disc assembly and refit your hub nuts and set your wheel bearing pre-load. NOTE - Puma & Td5 in most cases will have a single use hub nut. We have these in stock at $11 each if you would like some. Finish off by installing your brake caliper. The flange nuts are best fitted with Loctite PIPE SEALANT (white tube). DO NOT USE REGULAR LOCKTITE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! To finish off, you will need to top up your diff oil as per usual through the rear diff cover inspection port. Once this is full, you will need to add an additional 1 - 1.5L though the diff breather port, Use a ziptie to measure your 'FULL' level, and mark this with a paint marker and keep in your glovebox for when you check your diff oil levels next time. Job done

PLEASE NOTE:

Maxidrive axles by design (for longevity) are a press fit onto the flange. This (as per instructions we send out with every set of axles & flanges) can be done with a block of timber and a rubber mallet/dead blow hammer...and some elbow grease!

Maxidrive Heavy-Duty Rear Axle & Drive Flange Kit

Australian-made heavy-duty rear axles and drive flanges for Land Rover applications.

Land Rover rear axles and drive flanges are a known weak point once tyre size, load, engine torque or off-road use starts increasing. This kit replaces both rear axle shafts and drive flanges with Maxidrive heavy-duty components manufactured from Hi-Tuff material.

Kit includes

• 2 x Maxidrive heavy-duty rear axle shafts
• 2 x Maxidrive heavy-duty drive flanges
• 2 x Corteco hub seals

Choose the correct fitment

Select the axle / differential arrangement that matches your vehicle. Options include selected Discovery 1, Defender, Perentie / County, Range Rover Classic and Series applications.

If your axle or differential combination is not listed, contact KINGPIN Fab before ordering.

Oil-fed wheel bearing conversion

We recommend converting suitable applications to oil-fed wheel bearings while fitting this kit. The supplied hub seals are used as part of this conversion.

The job involves removing the brake caliper and hub/disc assembly, removing the inner stub-axle seal, fitting the supplied hub seal in the revised position, then refilling the differential and hub area correctly. Puma and TD5 vehicles will commonly use a single-use hub nut, so check what your vehicle requires before starting.

Important: use the correct sealant on the drive-flange fasteners. Do not substitute ordinary thread locker where pipe/thread sealant is specified.

Flange fit

Maxidrive axles are intentionally a firm press fit into the drive flange. This is normal. Follow the supplied fitting instructions and use a suitable timber block with a rubber or dead-blow mallet where required.

Its time to give that weak front end some much needed strength!

These Axles are 24spline at the Diff end and 23 Spline at the CV end.

They are suitable for use:

• In your 10 spline County or Perentie - to convert to the stronger 24 spline. This is common to do when fitting a locker or an LSD to the front of these trucks.

• When you upgrade your Discovery 1,  RRC, or Defender to either Ashcroft or County CVs which have a stronger 23spline female spline over the standard 32spline. (You will need an additional conversion kit to run the County C.Vs. Ask us for more information if your interested in this option, as it is cheaper than going all out and getting Ashcrofts to run with this axle  & flange kit. See notes below in regards to converting a post 93-94 rig

INTERESTING FACTOIDS:

• 32 CV end spline shaft cross section is 542mm sq.

• 23 CV end spline shaft cross section is 714mm sq

• THAT IS A 23% INCREASE IN SECTIONAL AREA OVER A STD 32 SPLINE CV END AXLE

• For a Perentie or County converting to 24spline at the diff...the size and thus strength difference is also a significant gain!

If converting a post 93-94 rig and are not using the Maxidrive conversion kit we supply - you will also need RTC4820 circlip and FTC254 bush. In the 'options drop down' this is the 'fitting kit'.

• County & Perentie need MDE5806 Flange

• Defender & Disco need MDE859 Flange

Maxidrive HD Rear Axles - made with HiTuff™ Material

HiTuff™ is approx 150% stronger in ultimate tensile strength than standard OEM Land Rover Axle material

You must use some form of HD drive flange with these axles. (Maxidrive flanges are available as part of the Axle Flange kits, or also separately)

Defender and Discovery 1 rear axles now must be used with X-Series flanges ONLY. (You will need these as all Discovery 1 and Defender rear axles are now +10mm spline (X-Series)

WE WILL CONTACT YOU AFTER ORDERING TO MAKE SURE WE GET THE CORRECT AXLES FOR YOUR TRUCK

***D2 AXLES ARE NOT MADE WITH HI-TOUGH MATERIAL - BUT EN26 STEEL***

ARP are known the world over in the Motorsport and High Performance vehicle circles as the premier bolts if you want the best of the best!

Made in the U.S.A 

• Tensile strength of the 8.8 grade is 800mPa or 116,000psi 
• Tensile strength of the ARP (8740 chromoly) is 1310mPa or 190,000psi 
• Tensile strength of 12.9grade is 1200mPa or 170,000psi

That's a 63% increase over 8.8 grade, and a 10% increase over 12.9 grade.

The  other factor to consider here is - all grade 8.8 and 12.9 bolts are coming from China.

You really do have to ask yourself...are they really undergoing continuous quality control in terms of yield tensile strength? Most people will realise ARP are

This is the very reason Motorsport and performance applications use and trust ARP

50mm pack is for Perentie & Counties which run the 5806 Flange - Everything uses the 45mm pack

*PRICE IS PER PACK OF 5*
