I've read several references on 'mud of two different generations of front drive flanges on the 80. I'd like to locate a set for trail spares, but I want to buy the correct version.
Is there a measurement that I could take on my current flanges to determine which version to buy?
I can't just go by model year/build date or existence of abs, I need a measurement. This rig is not very original, it is a bit of a mashup - it is '94 (they year they changed the flange design, in April, as I understand it), it has RCV driveshafts - they were put on before I got it, and I don't know if they also changed flanges at the same time. It came with ABS when new, not sure if that matters (I think I read that this mattered somehow).
I searched mud, and didn't find what I'm looking for. I feel like it must have been covered over the years, but I'm not great at search terms.
I did find this info on another site, it sounds legit but don't know if it is trustworthy:
Early Model CV. The 26mm measurement is from the surface the flange bolts onto to the outer circlip groove in the stub axle. 43421-60022
Late Model CV. The 35mm measurement is from the surface the flange bolts onto to the outer circlip groove in the stub axle. 43421-60040
Would anyone be willing to verify this or provide alternate measurements?
