Front wheel parts diagram

[Leonidas]

I would like to understand how front wheels work to transmit power and direction
I know exactly how my old Land Rover 300tdi works but have no idea how it works in the Grenadier
After many searches, Google and Gemini,... nothing
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Parts diagrams for example?

I don't have a parts diagram, but this video helped me visualize (im a visual learner) whats going on under the car before I picked mine up. Part 1 is good too, but this one he has it up on a lift, wheels off and walks through the suspension and drivetrain (from the context of an aftermarket shop ofc).

If you know how your 300tdi works then you already know how the Grenadier front axle works. It's essentially the same thing except the Grenadier uses a universal joint in place of the CV joint in the LR. Turn your steering wheel to full lock, switch off the engine and get down and have a look at the axle and steering knuckle arrangement. That's worth more than any parts diagram.

More info here if you still need to read something.

Isn't it a double cordon which is essentially a CV joint???

Yes, in action but not construction. I'm just trying to assist @Leonidas to recognise that it's a different joint type to his 300tdi but works the same way to transmit drive and allow steering.

Many thanks for the info
yes ,I have been under the car ,many times !
The big difference I see with my LR 300 tdi is the swivel pin housing which ,as you know has oil in it (or M0S2 now)

Many thanks for the useful video
So ,it is a double cardan ,he says?

 

[NQ94]

This is the larger Carraro HS6.07 axle, except for the brake rotor mounting it essentially the same as the smaller front axle used in an Ineos.

I suppose the swivel roller bearings and cardans are greased for life?
although I note there are bolted plates -top and bottom-that might indicate point to re-greasing ?

 

[Bildeaux]

Yes. Sealed roller bearings are considered lubed for life. There is not a way to grease these if a seal fails. In that situation they will need to be replaced.
