Hey,

What is the difference between the front hub/axle assemblies on the early defenders compared to a 94 range rover despite the ABS, I have been told the defenders have thicker drive flanges?

The reaon i ask is i want to fit the free wheeling front hubs i have but they suit early defenders not the later RR's apparently (the hubs are 5 stud not 6), well thats what i have been informed by ashcroft - either that or apparently a machine shop may be able to modify the hubs but i don't know what needs modifying.

Shoot a pm to "The 109" i think he baught new AMV fwh to suit defender.
From memory he had to alter them a little to fit.

the hubs are all 5 stud but the early 110s with the aeu2522 is a thicker drive flange and the bolt holes in the hubs are about 2 mm to the centre to tight i had to bore mine out .the first hubs i had were alloy so it was easy
