Rover axle interchangeablity question.

I guess its time for D60's front and rear. That's about the only weak point I have anymore (axles)

just make sure that your weak link doesn’t move to be the input shaft of your trans.

Then again, there must have a reason.

The diffs are not really any stronger as well. They still fail at the cross pin quite easily. That may be the logic to making the shafts weak, so they would fail before the diff. Anyway the stock stuff is all pretty crappy and fortunately there are good aftermarket options for everything.

Earlier genuine 24 spline shafts as used on Salisbury and "HD" Rover axles were not wasted to this extent and seem to use decent materials.

I have a 700R4. I don't think it'll break before an axle. I also have an NP241HD. Also upgraded to Tom Woods driveshafts.

My weak link are the axles.

That's because you welded the spider gears in the diff. If not then the diff probably would have broken first.
