Hi all,
Hope I can get some help from somebody with some front axle things.
I have a 90 with a front axle stamped 22L, to my understanding this is a 10 spline axle, anyway this axle is soon to be replaced with one I have removed from a 1996 Disco1 300tdi ES model it also had ABS and solid front disks.
I have began to stip down the brakes as they are rusted and seized, while doing so I noticed that the swivel balls are different, 1 is shiney chrome and the other is dull rusty like.
Is the dull one been a replacement and will it be ok to use? ( no leaks )
I looked in at the top king pin and found that a couple of the roller bearings were not located in the correct seat and worn flat.
So with this findings I have began to look for some replacement parts but noticed that there are lots of different parts listed for different chassis numbers.
I was looking to find the stamps on the axle but so far I have found nothing,
Are they all stamped in the same place?
The bottom king pin is 16mm diameter, ABS sensor through the top one which I won't need so will a non abs king pin kit be the same?
Also there are some long rectangular steel bars on the bottom king pin held on with 2 countersunk torx bolts, Are these required for anything other than the disk cover shield?

I hope this all make sense and somebody can tell me what axle I have and recommend a parts supplier who will sort me out

- for £18+vat which is just a bit more than for the top pin and bearing from same supplier.
