I started out with nothing & still have most of it left
JB33W Front Axle Housing was created by zukebob
Is anyone able to confirm whether the JB33W axle housing is interchangeable with the JB43?
An important addendum: This would be a surplus housing from Japan (RHD) for replacement in a LHD JB43

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I can't confirm the difference between them, but a RHD JB43 will be different to a LHD JB43, as the panhard rod mounts the other way- it runs parallel to the drag link, there is no LHD fixing on my RHD axle case. The 43 panhard fixing seems to be beefed up a lot compared to the 33, but I've no idea if the RHD 33 and 43 would swap.

Thanks Facade. For background, I was able to determine that the JB33 and JB43 share a common rear axle housing (46510-84A20) but the front axle housing had different part numbers even when comparing LHD to LHD. The Japanese surplus that they bring over here is always converted for LHD but I was thinking that there might be more to it. “The 43 panhard fixing seems to be beefed up a lot compared to the 33” is the kind of detail that I was really trying to learn. I was thinking there might be more significant differences but I’m not sure.
Regardless of what I am being told by the seller, I think I may just reject anything until a JB43 becomes available.
Thanks again.
