Guys,
I just bought myself some 404 axle and was woundering if it is possible to convert the front axle to a RHS drop. I was thinkink that I could just cut and swap the axle tubes. But I have now seen some pictures that show how the diff lock works by locking the long axle to the hemisphere. So now Im thinking that if I swaped the short axle to the RHS then the diff lock wouldnt work??

Any ideas?

:beer:

It's not a simple procedure by any means.

In a nutshell, the housing work is extensive because it isn't a uniform shape side to side, plus it's a double wall housing.

The long side shaft can be re-used because its splines are longer. But you are correct in thinking that the short side shaft then needs replaced for the locker.

That said, we do the conversion.

Thanks for that Rob, thats confirmed what I was thinking (although I didnt know they were double walled)
