T-series Axles
Lots of people talk about T-series diffs, kouki and zenki etc, but few people ever mention the axles. And then there's the people who say that if you have a non-LSD T-series diff and you want to put a TRD LSD center in, then you need to shorten the axles about 5mm...
Well anyways, what I wanted to point out is:
Not all T-series axles are created equal. There are at least (and probably more) 3 different sorts:
- TA22: These are fairly short, fairly thin, and use tiny bearings
- RA23/28, TA23: These are slightly longer than TA22, look to be a bit thicker, and use a much bigger bearing
- RA40/60: These are identical to RA23, except 30mm longer. Same bearing etc.
Measured with my dodgy tape measure, from axle flange to end:
- TA22: 550mm
- RA23: 555mm
- RA40: 585mm
I'm not sure about the mounting plate, but visually they look the same. Splines are the same (obviously).
