Drove it home but...

Busted rear axle housing this morning playing off-road. Managed to drive it home very slowly and the housing completely parted in driveway!

Will search for complete assembly next week. This has been a very reliable car and it has taken a lot of stick off-road so I can't really complain. Will look at strengthening the new housing before mounting it on my Jimny. Is there a kit available or will I have to "wing it"?

ORA Axle trusses, But you will need at least a 2" lift to fit them.

bloooody helll :laugh:

That is a pretty impressive breakage!!!.... and I'd like to congratulate you by sending you a free axle truss compliments of O.R.A!...

One catch, can we use your picture for our website?

Lol RB, if you want to send one to 3 Orana Court Frankston Vic 3199 Australia then you are my hero.

Regardless, you may use this pic or any other free and gratis.

Had another look this morning, think there was some very ordinary welding there by Suzuki...

:S

The weld is totally the reason it's broken... A would have certainly prevented this from happening.

Still very impressive none the less.

As it's the rear axle a truss will fit fine as there is no sump clearance to worry about.... also as stated on the other thread it could be fitted to the bottom of the casing if you would prefer and aren't worried about ground clearance.

Straight up, as I say we're so impressed with your breakage drop Hen an email to offroadarmoury@gmail.com and we'll strap a truss to a carrier pigeon and ping it your way.... ;)
