Re: Axle size
410 and 413 are the same size. It is the Samurai that has wider axles and outboarded spring mounts.
Wider axles = more stability

Re: Axle size
Ah yes, sorry my mistake. Reason I ask is I have a 410 SJ and Samurai and am using the parts off one for the other. Can you recommend where I can get the seals and felts for the knuckle ball by any chance ? Oh and thanks for your response

Re: Axle size
Also greater moment forces. The longer something is the easier it is to bend. Not likely to happen but mathematically it's true.dan_2k_uk wrote:Wider axles = more stability
There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Re: Axle size
Ah ha, so the samurai axles it is then Is the SJ 410 inferior to the Samurai in any way other than that ? Also are the bodies interchangeable ?

Re: Axle size
Bodies can be swapped. Just remember you would need to move the perches on the axles and 413 and Sammy axles only take diffs thatare a higher ratio so wont be good with the 1L engine. Although there may be a vitara diff you could use to get the gearing back.
Apart from what has been mentioned any other diferences between the 2 are pretty much personal prefrence.
