Hi, first post so please go easy.
I am currently attempting to rebuild my rear axle on a 1981 series 3 88". I have stripped the axle down and found a castle nut on the left hand half shaft and a circlip on the right hand half shaft. Is this normal or has someone installed incorrect half shafts at some point? Is this a problem or should the half shafts match? it dosen't seem right to me but i'm no expert hence the question.
I am only wanting to change the bearings, seals, gaskets and a refresh of the castings but don't want to start my project off on the wrong footing.
Any help appreciated.
