is it possible to use a samuri rear 3rd member in a front axle housing of another samuri
-
Yes, but you have to swap the side gears over as rears are 26 spline and fronts are 22 spline.
Or buy some aftermarket 26 spline front axles too ;)

yeah i undersatnd some of it but can anyone explain it a little more in depth

Translation:
The rear third member case will bolt onto the front axle housing.
However (& I personally am not sure that this is actually true -- if I am wrong then, OOPS!) mudfkr says that the front axle shafts will not fit into a rear third member. This is alledgedly because the spline count on the end of the front axle shaft is different from the spline count of the side gears that are in a rear third member.
Here is a picture of what splines look like:
(http://www.ackerdackerly.com/faq/articlematerial/splinepic.JPG)
Different types of differentials have different spline counts in the axle shaft and the corresponding side gears. The side gears are the differentials' "output" gears -- they connect to the axle shafts which connect to the wheel. The spline count (and the diameter of the axle shaft and side gear "hole") must match exactly.
I hope this helps! ÂÂ

Those look like they match. ;D

Thats a better explaination than mine Ack ;D
Rear axles are 27.4MM (1.08") 26 spline
Front axles are 23.9MM (.94") 22 spline

Front axles are IFS, even if the spline count
were the same it wouldn't fit, ;) but if you use
26 spline front 3rds, the old 26 sammy axles
will fit the front sidegears.

??? ??? ???
You've lost me here Wild, are you talking about Sammy axles or Kicks ?

he's just padding his post count ;D like me,LOL

Did ya see these on sale at trail tough, it would be nice to have the money for them.

I wonder who makes those ones ?
-
cv unlimited I believe, good looking axels.
-
In that case I wouldn't pay $5 for them, I've seen a set of CV unlimiteds twist and break on the long side.
-
Ohh never mind, I thought this was a thread
about Track/Kick axles in the back of a Sammy.

Ahh yeah I thought you'd gone off on a different tangent there ;D

I guess that explanation needs to go into the FAQ (http://www.ackerdackerly.com/acksFAQ.html), then (spline count included). Thanks!
