Hi all,
I have a 12ht 60 that has been my trusted friend for 16 years or so... she has a factory cable diff locker in the rear full float housing-those in the know will appreciate with the factory lockers, there are specific axle shafts (rear right/short, front long) with longer splines to allow the mechanism to work.
Not thrashing it, or giving it any abuse knowingly, was pulling out of a parallel carpark, on the seal (no diff wasn’t locked and I was in 2wd) when there was an almighty bang and suddenly no drive...
Snapped the rear axle shaft.
Anyone have any leads on where I may be able to find another? It’s the rear, short axle with longer splines for a diff lock.
Not sure why it broke...
I am in New Zealand, so here or Australia would be ideal-and I’m unsure if the cable setup was even available in North America?. We are lucky in NZ as in the late 1980s our domestic market was suddenly flooded with used JDM imports from Japan. Much of this is long gone, but we got a whole lot of GX/VX/Sahara 60’s with 12h/t’s (24v)
