Is there a strength difference between Disco 200 TDI and RRC 89 axles? When was the 24 spline introduced on the disco?

Cheers Bowy who has a RRC but can get a rolling chassis of a disco cheap. and needs stronger axles because of his 33's and future 35's

I think that the 24 spline rears were introduced towards the end of the 200Tdi's. Can't you just pull a rear axle and check?

Probably I can but I don't want to alert the seller ;)

And the seller is 200km away.... :( But will probably buy it anyway going to check it out this weekend.

Cheers Bowy

AFAIK, Discos have cheaper diff components than Rangies, the Disco spider gears are compressed powder gears while Rangie ones are cut gears. The part numbers are different .
I think the axles are the same.
