Slightly confused atm.

Do normal Sierra push in shafts have the correct "other end" to go onto this flange on the rear of the hub?

From the pics I can find, they don't.

No dude!

What you are looking at there is the outer part of a lobro joint - a bit like the diff flange at the other end.

Liam is right and also maybe wrong if you log onto www.fordsierraclub.co.uk or on here check under postings about lorbros push in and lsd it can be done with a lsd diff witha lobro joint at the diff end and a push in outer shaft for drum brakes

I will ask the diff and shaft god on the forum to see if it can be done the other way round

See thats the problem. Well part of it.

The diff end is push in, so I look at a picture of a push in shaft, and find this.



The pushin end I can understand/see. The other end, thats not got the lobro type flange I need (and I do realise there is a hub on the end!)

So I either need to stick in my LSD with the lobro and get lobro shafts, or I need a hybrid?

Or am I still confused?

Ok got some answers

You have a lsd with lobro flanges just like your flanges on the hub simple just get two lobro shafts some new torx bolts and its done

Or get another diff as above non lsd with lobro shafts and fit

the other option is pants and nigh on impossible to do modify a push in shaft
without grief.

So easier quicker and less hassle use your lsd get some lobro shafts and fit
or buy another diff with lobros fitted job done.

there are loads on non lsd 7" diffs around which use lobros

hope this helps
