I got my axle rebuild kit from Australia. Think it was a different make to that one, but was a good kit with everything i needed.

Dont forget you will probably be charged import tax when it arrives in the UK.

I sourced bits seperatly.

Highest quality bearings my local place had and seals and felts from suzuki came to about £80.

Then just cleaned up and reused the retainers.

hey guys

good to hear the kit you had was good ferris.

dan , im going to do a bearing list and speak with a supplier through work for trade prices :thumbup: better to help uk companys first.

the transfer rebuild kit may still work out good tho. im lucky to have a friend who is a wiz with gearboxs, diffs an t boxs and works for a well known specialist ....... but all land rover stuff :lol: . looked through the suzuki manual and he said it would be simple enough to do. again ill see what the bearing supplier says price wise.

hmmmmmmm lockrite locker $199 = £120 :doublethumbs: then theres the low t box gear sets ......
ohh an those other bits. . . . . and some of them bits too ..

Ignore me. Had a really really long day at work then went home and had a few ciders.

For some reason I thought we were talking about swivel hubs!!! :oops:
