Prob the biggest crock of shit I have read since some plank on here told me that a 200 TDI shit box discovery engine could smash a Volvo C303 portal axle

about time people started writing about fact and no ruddy fiction


How would you suggest adjusting the lock stops would prevent this g wagon cv failure?

Grow up!

I wasn't suggesting they are crap of that you should take them off,

Your just deluding yourself (and others) insisting that they are a superior axle than the 80 series cruisers.


At what point did i suggest they were better than 80 series axles then mate ive re read the thread and i dont see it :whistle:

Just out of interest to pick up on someone else's point. What vehicle was this broken CV in when it broke please?

Many thanks.

The AMG's are all 463 models that have larger front diffs and cv's

The back axles are bloody tough! i've never broken anything in the rear.

The front axle sadly is toffee! and the only fix are New shafts and cv's from RCV

I broke that one under a pajero hybrid that i built, it was powered by an izusu 2.8 and weighed a little over 1600kg

i cannot remember what tyres i was running probably either 35x12.5r15 bfg muds or 35x11.5r15 simex, it was few years ago!
