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.
