Adapting D44 outers to D30?

[Root Moose]

If you wanted hubs...

IIRC the WARN hub kit has a special order 30 spline option.

 

[CRASH]

I don't even think it's special order, it's what comes with standard (5 on 5.5" kit)

Another combination I thought of would be the narrowed HP44 as previously mentioned, but with later model Dodge knuckles and XJ/TJ UB's (assuming they fit) with alloy shafts, yada yada yada.

Looking at the pics in this guy's dodge UB replacement writeup, they seem awfully similar.

I give you the solution to (almost) all your troubles:

Dual-piston calipers, 6-lug rotors, manual Aisin locking hubs, high(er)-steer knuckles, regular bearings/spindle, identical WMS, Korean steel quality (is that a good thing?). These are all assumptions and guesstimates based on very little actual knowledge, I have yet to dig into them for measuring, spline counting, etc. But it looks all good on paper.

I just really hope the knuckle will fit on the stock C (correct spread and ball joint size?), and that the stubs will accept 297-size U-joints. :viking:

Ok, I'll bite.

What is it?

I'm guessing Daihatsu.

the balljoint spacing and joint size look exactly the same as a D44. The D30 has much more room above the joint.

I'd be interested to know more about the calipers though, it would be interesting if they are reasonably cheap and easy to put on Waggy/Ford 1/2t D44s.

I would think the ball joints being located in the knuckle rather than the inner C might reinforce this idea as well.

Maybe I am missing something here. But what would be the advantage over a regular 44? How does this axle coincide with this thread at all?

 

[NXJ]

Ssang Yong, guys, Ssang Yong. (More precisely Korando.)

Hardly reasonable or cheap, I don't even think they ever exported Ssang Yong to the States at all? Even though they're from nuclear-free South Korea. :roll:

So, you're saying I have to knock of the inner C's and use those too (are they identical too CJ D30 C’s?)? I guess I have to bring out the measuring tape and do some checking on those axle tubes, then. It seems like I have a factory D44/D30-thing sitting right there, too bad it’s low-pinion and passenger-differentialed.

91, you seem to be missing a lot. The thread starter asked about adapting D44 outers to a D30, and more importantly, he wanted manual hubs, regular wheel bearings and a 6-lug bolt pattern to match his Toyota rear. Don’t read much, do you?

Actually I've read every post in this thread. The author and original topic didn't last past page one. The last four pages have followed a different theme. But if you are trying to resurrect the lost cause, go for it. Though I don't see how posting an axle that none of us could aquire, that isn't any kind of an upgrade over using regular 44 parts, is helping anyone........:twak:

 

[Ludakris]

sorry for the hijack, but...

could I use FF D60 outers on my D35? I need these for the 44's and 10" of lift I plan on installing..

FWIW, not ALL threads will stay on track. A lot of discussions either go down the shitter or open peoples minds to ask new, sometimes unrelated, questions. Not much unlike when speaking with friends and the topic junps around.

That's because we all have ADD Avery.

So, I was driving the Chief last night down PCH, man there's a LOT of Land Rover Defender 90's in Malibu.
