I have a 2018 Defender HD10 XT Cab and am going through the same problems! Any update since installing the Rhino's? Looks like we're stuck with XMR rears and nothing but stock fronts? ugh!

The caviot being: this applies to my 2018 Defender HD 10 XT CAB if yours isn't a cab model, it 100% is not the same. I have found that for the Rear there are a few options because the rear axles are the same as the 2018+ Defender HD10 XMR so the following axles work for the rear and both sides are the same (so x2 if you need both) Demon PAXL-3067 / 3067HD / 3067XHD (were not in stock at the time of my order Oct 2022) GSP 4102043 (ordered one to get me going until my Rhino 2.0 comes available) Rhino 2.0 AX-7-67-R-0-DT-001 Gorilla GA-CDEFXMR-R (Way too much $ for me to get in Canada) Front right (passenger side) Demon PAXL-3059 (may never be available again but exists technically) Gorilla GA-CDEFCAB-FR (Way too much $ for me to get in Canada) GSP 4102044 (I will have one Monday but we've already confirmed every measurement with the distributor) FYI I'm pretty sure GSP makes the stock BRP axles but they're much cheaper from GSP (for me at least) Here's where it gets wierd: Front Left: My dealer gave me a GSP 4102050 axle (for a 2020 HD10 XT Cab) and it matches perfectly, seats fully in the diff and measures exactly the same as my stock axle. other than the notch, which isn't necessary and there is no clearance issue with the knuckle. The GSP 4102045 (for a 2018 Max HD8 is identical and has the step. This means that we can upgrade 3 of our 4 axles! I'm not finding anything for the front right that is easy to acquire up here in northern Alberta Canada. Edited October 21, 2022 by zalman updated/corrected info

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. 1

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.

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.🙁

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.🤑 Edited November 9 by Andystoy19
