Hello,

We are getting asked quite often now for a Jimny Gen-4 version for our Gen-3 Rear Floating Axle (strangely mainly from "down under").

If anyne who has a Jimny Gen-4 and would consider being our Guines Pig to test things out - of course the benefit for you is that we would give you a kit (Shafts and Adapter Plate) for free as part of the development.

Firstly, we need to have the rear shafts correctly measured, then the Rear ABS and Traction Control Sensor.

1) Measure Shafts:
To measure the rear shafts we would want the dimensions from end to flange face to compare with Gen-3 parts that we have. It will need to be measured as accurately as possible and as square as possible. Also some photos of how it was measured would be handy to ensure we work the same way on either side of the planet.

2) Re the ABS sensor setup:
With the floating rear you use the front abs sensors and trigger ring as you are aware. These sensors are a basic Hall effect sensor and simply rely on a tooth passing to generate a signal, which is why they are no issue on the Gen-3. There are more teeth and bigger gaps because it’s diameter is larger. This doesn’t seem to confuse the abs controller on the gen3, though it’s untested on the Gen-4 as yet obviously. Our only concern with the Gen-4 would be how it might affect the traction control, which presumably relies on the abs sensors to know what is happening.

Let me know, via an email to JimnyBrett@gmail.com
