2019 Defender XT Cab Hd10 replace front axles

[zalman]

Hey I have a 2019 xt cab model as well. I am having lots of issues with the front diff and wanted to see if you guys know the correct axle length for the front axles. My bike has a 3 in catvos lift and has gorilla axles in the front. I'm starting to wonder if my front axles are the wrong length. The front right will pop out and if they are both seated in the diff I have lots of popping when turning. Figured I would verify lengths first. 

My 2018 HD10 XT Cab has a 3" lift (pucks) and I'm running 30" terminators on stock length axles without them popping out... Just the odd breakage...

Unfortunately GSP Doesn't t list the specs for the front left (4102050 or 4102045) the same way

Front Right stock axle specs from My GSP replacement Front Right (4102044) which matched my stock (Can Am 705402170) axle perfectly.

I finally got word from Demon Powersports, rugged ATV parts, owned by PDI in Markham Ontario that they stock the rugged line of axles for the 2019 Defender XT Cab HD10. The numbers are as follows: PAXL 3059 RF, PAXL 3060 LF and PAXL 3067 rear axles (2) these are the Rugged ATV axles and are OEM replacement +. These may be the same as the Titan axles above??

I ordered the Heavy Duty line which are the same numbers as above just add HD or XHD (Extreme HD) to the end of the number. They didn't have the front axles in stock so I don't know how long it will take to get them.(made in China). Pricing online is about $209 Cdn for the rugged brand and $335 Cdn for the HD. with free shipping in Canada. Not cheap but I hope decent quality.

I will update the post when I receive the axles?

Well after being on back order for two years I recieved word from Demon that they will not be building or stocking any of 3059 or 3060 HD axles.

After all this time has passed I finally got someone in sales at Demon to look at ordering me a custon set of HD front axles and to my surprise the reply was we have the HD axles in stock for your 2019 Defender HD10 Cab Xt but they are not listed under the 2019 you have to order them for the 2020 and they will fit. Okay so I ordered a set: PAXL 3085 HD front right and PAXL 3086 HD front left.

I installed the front axles as previously described and they slipped right in. After a short drive they seem to work and fit as well as the OEM ones so my initial impression is as follows:

The OEM axle diameter is 24mm and the HD is 27mm and on the digital bathroom scale OEM is 10 lbs. and HD is 14 lbs. Not only is the shaft larger but the boots that house the CV's are much larger. Also an additional 4 lbs. per side of rotating mass. Larger and heavier for sure.

Install hint is make sure the inner spline is in the seal area and the shaft is as straight as possible so that a hard push on the outer axle will seat the clip in the differential correctly.

I hope that the new part numbers help anyone waiting for the HD front axles that never seemed to be in stock because nobody bothered to change the fitment numbers for the 2019???? Unfortunately my photo of the side by side comparison of HD vs stock disappeared.

Demon is a canadian site located in Ontario but Canadians need to be aware that the pricing on this site is in $US so although they are priced at $205 each with free shipping and no customs cost you are paying for the axle at the $US exchange rate.
