up to 99' discoveries came with full floating axles (D1) 99 and up (D2) are semi-floating the easiest way to explain, is that with a full floating axle, the axle can be removed with out removing the wheel/ hub assembly or disturbing the center carrier. due to their strength, full-floating axles are used on semi's, lorries, and heavy over the road trucks. and yes full floating are better axles. do a google search, as there are many sites that have visual aides to help explain better. here's one: http://www.tpub.com/content/construction/14050/css/14050_275.htm marc |
