Hi,

I´m new on this great site. And I need some information about rear axles.

Does it fit? Rear axle from Transit (year 1996) in Mk2 ????

Thanx

it will fit sort of

the shock muntings are on the wrong side so they will need cutting off and rewelding back on the other side also a 96 axle is quite a bit wider

i presume you are talking 5 stud - if not ignore the above

Sorry is theis LWB or SWB? the LWB is a clise match, though I am told it's narrower. We have firtted several to Mk2 lutons, but it doesn't show with the chassis cab.

In single or dual rear wheel ones?

And what do you know about the quality of new Transit parts vs the old ones?

According to a diff guy I spoke to a few months ago about problems with my Mark 1 diff new Transit diffs give problems all the time, he claimed they got an unusually high number of new Transits coming for his shop for repairs (he showed me two of them being worked on), and he advised me to repair mine instead because "old Transit diffs go for ever".
