Bent Rear Axel?
Posting for a mate.
His rear tyres have worn bald on the inside of his 2008 110 Puma.
He changed the trailing arm bushes which has some play but it hasn't cured the problem.

Here's facebook post to a Landy Group

"Before I rush out and buy a new rear axle.. Is there any other possible explanation for this other than bent rear axle??? (It just seems so perfectly wrong!)
Next question.. Will a 2009 2.4Puma 90 rear axle fit straight onto my 2008 2.4Puma 110??"

Many thanks.

90 and 110/130 axles are different and not interchangeable (at least, not easily). They have completely different diffs for a start.

The 90 axle will fit no problem , but you'll need a shorter prop shaft as the 110 has a short nose diff

I thought the rear rover pattern axle wasn't weight rated for a 110 hence the p38a being used? Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.

If each side was toeing 10 degrees out each side, it would be massively noticeable, even visually!

axle will physcially fit but the 110 has a P38 diff (same ratio as 90) 3.54 and the 90 has a std LR diff.

so as above prop will need shortening to fit the 90 axle into a 110

you cant swap the diffs over as the bolt pattern is different.

i dont recall LR ever fitted std rover diffs to the back of a 110, they were salisbury then went to P38 pattern.

must be good reason for the added expense! Cheers
