1995 FZJ75 axle specs

[Mace]

I picked up a set of axles for a project of mine out of a 1995 FZJ75. From what it looks like, they are the same width as a 40 series (perhaps a tad wider).

My questions are basically what is interchangeable with the domestic USA stuff? and what are the actual widths?

Knuckles look to be the same as 60 series stuff, so I'd assume that the Birfields are as well.

Inner axles the same?

Rear is full floating, so obviously that will be different, how hard are spare shafts to get?

I know nothing about 70 series cruisers.

Okay, from digging, it looks like the inner and outer axles are the same length as a FJ40. However, the housing is a tad wider.

Bout 56 and 55" WMS or so.

FWIU, these are supposed to be pretty much the same width as 40-55 series, but they have the burlier housings and knuckles like the 62. the rear axle is more like that of an FZJ80- does this rear have disk with drum ebrake set-up? how bout elockers? the fronts are more like a 62 than an 80 tho, with an option for selectable locker and a 9.5" diff. these are set up for coils, huh? man, those are nice platforms if ya ask me.

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

Rear FF shafts should be available at SOR, no? Nitro also makes cut to length shafts with built in flanges and oil seal races- what I'm using on my cut down zj80 rear, sokay. 225 per side... You could always do the trail-gear-costems and drive flanges, and I'm sure ebay australia sees them used all the time...

These were set up for leaf springs.

Disk front Drum rear. No lockers.


Going to be a coil-over front with leafs in the rear.

Calipers are larger than 60 series, I think they are same as Hilux/Surf calipers of a certain year. CV's are larger than 60, but smaller than 80 series as I assume being a 1995 it is hi pinion front?

 

[Mace]

Conventional low pinion

 

[rick_d]

Jan 1990 the front axles on 70 series went to the high pinion with a leaf sprung front and different knuckle assembly with the sole exception being HJ75's that were made with std 9.5" diffs in the front until August 1991.

If it is a standard pumpkin then it is just late 40 and 60 series stuff.

The axle length thing is irrelevant, 40 = 70 in the 1980's production.

 

[Mace]

Lol, it came out of a 1995 fzj75. Not a fj40 or fj60.

The gusset on the lower portion of the axle housing, different tre's than a 40/60 has, the width. No shock mount on the axle housing, the reliefs on the spindles all say its not a 60 or 40.

 

[Hulsty]

If its low pinion must not be the standard housings. Being low pinion front and rear diffs in their entirety are more or less exactly the same as 60 series stuff just a different width. Short side FF axle is the same as short side 60 and 40 FF axle.

Whats the country of origin. All hzj and fzj's in Australia were hi pinion front and after sept 92 were disc brake rear. Maybe other countries were different?

 

[Mace]

Canada.

I have seen about 25 used mine trucks in person. I have parted out two 1995's from canada (hzj75's).

I own the $300+, 1990- 2004 world parts book for 70 series land cruisers.

It is not original to 1995 year.

You will also notice the angled webs on rear diff is for a higher ratio diff (common in 1995, 4.56-4.30 etc) than the front which is std 3.70/4.11 pre 1990. they are not a matching set originally.

Rear axle is about 56" wide WMS. btw.
They definately came out of the same truck.


Angled webs on the rear diff?

Point out what you are referring to please.

 

[crushers]

look like typical 70 series post 90 axles. small pinion front, full size rear.
what was the engine in the truck, that will help with the gear ratio possibilities.
1995 was the last year of the PZ which would be 4.56 gears (mine truck applications)
HZ would be 4.11
what are they going under? (just curious)

 

[Mace]

I believe its a fzj75. But i swear it was a diesel. I'll have to ask the owner.

But yes it was a Canada mine truck.


The axles are going in a Scout.

 

[crushers]

cool
okay, the mines never used gassers so it would be either a HZ or PZ. i am going to guess that it was a HZ
easy to get parts for. low pinion small diff front with full size rear.
IF you got the PZ diffs they are very rare and desirable.
congrats

 

[Mace]

Yeah, it was a HZ.

Too bad, my 60 would love a set of 4.56's. The 4.88's in there right now are just a touch on the low gear side.

4.11's are exactly what I want for the scout with 33's tho. Small diff front? The pumpkins are not interchangeable front to rear?

 

[crushers]

no, if those are from a 1990 and later then the front is small and the rear is large
if they are from pre-1990 then they will be the same size.
