Other Stub axle solution

Mecca’s · Jan 13, 2019

morning,

I was hoping that someone may be able to know if there is an alternative stub axle to a FRC3925. I think this from a post 80, 109?

Would the pat number 599827 work with the oil seal Coller 599698 work.

The one I have looks like it has been butchered and Craddock,s are asking silly money.

Cheers, Ian.

Show us what is wrong with the one you have, some people on here have refurbished succesfully.

At £33 against £350....it makes you wonder!

Mecca’s · Jan 13, 2019

I think it,s finished.possible build up with weld and machine back?

Mecca’s · Jan 13, 2019

I have seen them at more than that. Anyone got one at the back of the garage

You can buy the collars for the other type, if it was turned to an interference fit , then fit. A replacement colllar , it looks like someone had that plan and then found out it’s all one piece

rob1miles · Jan 13, 2019

Agreed, the collars are cheap, I would buy a couple, take the lot to a local machine shop and see what they would chanrge to turn it down and fit the collar. Prices tell a story - £40 or so but out of stock, 350-440 in stock. looks like they were sold off too cheap now there's none left.

Am I missing something? Probably am so why not get the cheaper stub axle and collar?

Try H and H Surplus, They have old stock new original parts at reasonable price's.

Good question
It looks like you need to change the hub bearing bits

There's a raised face on the stub axle that usually sits flush with the back plate, but yours looks recessed Mecca.. ?

Pictures of my own stub axles (2A) from back when I replaced both the collars, and a shot showing the flush arrangement on a S3 (back plate bolts and locking tabs missing):

scottonthefen · Jan 15, 2019

I think I'm just confused. Looks like S3 have another piece that bolts on top that my 2A doesn't.. which'd make yours right Mecca. Ignore me, most people do.

I believe that extra piece is a retrofit oil catcher.

scottonthefen · Jan 15, 2019

Makes sense, I can see how it might hold oil better than coming out straight on the bolt heads.

This guy's pics do appear to have a separate collar don't they?

Mecca’s · Jan 16, 2019

I am not so concerned about the missing material that the inner bearing will butt up against it’s more about the oil seal not working.

I may run it and see what happens, check after a few miles and take a view?
Thanks for everyone’s help

Would an early 90 stub axle FRC4320, be the same as a post 1980 series 3?

Blackburn · Jan 17, 2019

Discussed this on landrover uk forum that part on eBay £15 worth a punt to find out

Mecca’s · Jan 17, 2019

Yep. Worth a go! Thanks for all the help.

tottot · Jan 18, 2019

The collar type stub axle can be used on later model's.

catman275 · Jan 18, 2019

I believe if you change the stub axle to an earlier type you have to change the outer half shaft.

Please correct me if i am wrong.
