Slow250XC 1,513 Posted October 12, 2019 Have found a 3.45 lsd from an xh xr8 to go into the xc.I have a xf ute driveshaft under the bench with the flat flange.Are the ute driveshafts longer than sedans? Sent from my SM-J330G using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bear351c 10,270 Posted October 13, 2019 Not sure on XH (later models) but on the early stuff, XA - XE etc..... the ute has longer leaf springs, and tailshaft. Pretty sure the Utes were set up on the Fairlane/wagon wheel base. Hence they too have longer cart springs, and tailshaft, Prob best to install diff and trans, then measure it. Don't forget, full weight on the tyres. (Dont have the diff hanging) 1 Slow250XC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted October 13, 2019 E series sedan fit X series sedan E series wagons and utes fit x series wagons utes. I have a ED diff in the ute with a XH steel ute tail shaft. 4 BGDAV, bear351c, CHESTNUTXE and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slow250XC 1,513 Posted October 13, 2019 Thanks guys, as i thought. Next plan will be to fit flat flange to xc driveshaft. Sent from my SM-J330G using Tapatalk 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SM-J330G using Tapatalk if you wanted to keep your current tailshaft you'll need a hybrid yoke as the E series(flat flange yoke) is 1310 and the X series is smaller(not sure what it is) otherwise, just get an EB ED ED EL SEDAN tailshaft and it will go straight in to XA to XF sedan 1 Slow250XC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gerg 10,871 Posted October 13, 2019 Fairlane/LTD shafts are the same wheelbase as utes and wagons also (same floorpan) just in case you come across one of them for parts.Utes and wagons use the same leaf springs as well, but I'm unsure about Fairlanes being the same here.My XE wagon uses an alloy EF wagon shaft and flange. That was a straight bolt-on.Sent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk 1 Slow250XC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is the bank transfer.My better half normally does all that for me, however she is in hospital for at least another month and a half.
