cannot post in RR tech section--help

[Eah]

I have an exploded cv on my 94LWB. The problem is DAP and AB both list two different options depending on the axle #. My axle # is 57L07135A. Their numbers end in B or C. I am confused, which one do I get? Thanks, Eric

maybe one is for a 10 spline vs 24 spline, but I think everything in 94 was 24 spline. Seems everything that year was ABS cept for Defenders.

 

[Eah]

they are both 24 spline. Apparently the outer bearing race was changed from 35mm to 32mm. I just dont understand the axle stamp numbering they used. I need to figure out where my axle falls in the series of numbers.

 

[D Chapman]

It does not matter. Either it's 10 spline or it 24 spline.

If you shop at DAP you're an idiot. Call Will Tillery and he'll save you about $100.00

 

[Eah]

if it does not matter then when in the hell does EVERYONE list two different cv joints for a 94. There was a mid-year change. The outer bearing race was changed from 35mm to 32mm. That seems like a difference to me.

 

[D Chapman]

Can you count?

 

[Eah]

Apparently not. That is why I am asking for some help RICHARD! If all you want to do is lurk is spout some crap, save it for someone else.

 

[D Chapman]

I've already given you your answer. It's not that difficult. You either have a 10 spline axle or a 24 spline axle. I'm not a RRC guy, but I'm betting you have a 24 spline axle.

Does your CV look like this?

 

[Eah]

Yes I do have a 24 spline and it does look like that. Maybe I cannot state my question right. Does the A, B, or C at the end of the axle # go sequentially? i.e., did they produce a whole series ending in A and then moved to B? I got confused when I looked at the atlantic british page and they show two different 24 spline cv joints. specifically saying, up to axle # 57L05188B and from 57L05189B. These are for RR with EAS. They have different #'s for coil spring trucks. I would have called Will, but I am in Colorado and he was long gone by the time I had the truck apart.

 

[D Chapman]

1994, I'm pretty sure, had ABS. They use the CV I pictured.

Pre-ABS trucks used another type CV. They looked like this:
A type
B Type

To my knowledge, the 1994 did not have the A or B type CV's. But like I said, I'm not an RRC guy so I'm not going to say for sure.

I don't know what the numbers on your axle housing means, but I do know that you need a standard 24 spline CV with the ABS ring (some early D-90's did not have the ABS ring).

.....actually, is does not matter if the CV has the ABS ring or not, it will still work. But the ABS will not function if the ABS ring is missing.....not that this is a bad thing.

 

[Eah]

Mine does have ABS and is it definitely a 24 spline. When I talked to Lou at DAP, he did seem to know and/or understand that there was a slight difference in the bearing race measurement that did make a difference. I had no idea. I would have just picked up a used 24 spline. Do you think the A at the end of my axle # (stamped on the main axle housing long side) makes a difference? Or should I just use the main number and leave the A out of it?

 

[D Chapman]

I would grind the number off the axle if that will keep you from looking at it.

The larger bearing that I think you're referring to is for the AEU2522 CV. That CV was not fitted to the RRC from the factory.

Now that is some funny $h1t.

If you have a 94 Classic you have abs and a 24 spline. Any 24 spline axle with abs will fit just fine. The 93 Classic was a split year but that has nothing to do with yours.
