Sprocket Doodle you can be so insensitive at times. A big bloke like you should be bursting with joy, not unhappy thoughts. I will whisper some words of happiness into the breeze tonight before I go to bed and hope you will hear them.Quote:

Hahahahaha just letting you know I’m still here lurking in the back ground, don’t get on here much due to work commitments but I pop in from time to time to check on things & try & catch up on the goings on.
Good deal. You'd be nuts to not run them mate. You are installing New Axles with a New hardened race for that seal. Best to run thr best seal on the new face. Double lipped. Winner.Quote:

Ok, ordered the full floater kit, 3months lead time, probably because axles ex USA
There is absolutely no need for a rear axle upgrade. It's so rare for them to let go. Usually the diff centre will let go but such a rare thing for a patrol rear axle to let go. They are so big already. Your money would be better spent elsewhere. Prob a lot cheaper to source a coil H260 out of an early 3L GU. Has the bigger axles and is either semi or full floating if a remember right.
Thanks for your considered opinions, it's my money and if I think it's warranted and can afford it, what's the deal? I don't want the bigger pumpkin that comes with the 260 either. It's not about the cheapest option, it's about what meets the brief. Full floater in 233 footprint is what I want, and stronger to boot.Quote:

The thrust block supplied will do your head in, however for my vehicle it isn't required as long as the axles are the same length as the ones coming out. @Rossco had a few dramas with his, mine are yet to go in, just did some intense checking after hearing about ross's issues and believe the information above is correct.
The problem appears to be the USA manufacturer has the wrong length for the axles. For reasons unknown they dont appear to be listening to the feedback, so every set supplied for the GQ needs to be shortened. The mod is executed with a thin angle grinder wheel - yet to do mine, warranty not affected.
Sorry to dig up this old thread guys.. but you all seem to be on the ball when it comes to these axles!
I have a set of rcvs to go in my GU diff. I have had my centre rebuilt with a TJM locker installed but didn’t get the thrust block installed as it only mentioned an ARB locker…
Are you guys running these axles in a gq or gu? And did you end up using the block after all?
All help is appreciated. I really hope my diff doesn’t need to come apart again!!
I am running a GQ with ARB locker. The thrust block, if one was installed originally remained in the diff center. I simply shortened the axles by 8mm as instructed and they slipped straight in. The only thing I would say is the circlip groove ex factory is a bit shallow and the radius sits the circlip high in the groove.Quote:
