gen 1 and gen 2 rear axle questions

Post by pajero1983 »

Right so here i go: got a gen 1 swb 2.5tdi coil rear end with drum brakes and a 8inch open diff
I want to fit my 9.5inch lsd diff and rear disk brakes from a gen2 lwb pajero only problem is all this wont fit into my gen 1 axle housing as i found out :D so my question is will a lwb gen 2 axle housing bolt into my gen 1? also are they a bit wider as my gen 2 axles are slightly longer 10mm to be exact.

Are you sure about that autolocker thing? As far as I am aware there is no auto lockers available for rear Pajero's.
SWB V6 Paj with one or two mods ;)
