I broke the rear axle in my 01 rubicon...

I found a good deal on a 450 foreman axle. I was looking on the parts break down from honda on the foreman versus rubicon...

The Rubicon calls for P/N 42311-HN2-020
The Foreman calls for P/N 42311-HM7-A02


Judging by prints, the rear diff goes together the same on both of them...

Part numbers start out the same, except for the HM7/HN2 stuff...

Does any one know the diffrence in the two axles? and can I use the Foreman 450 axle in my Rubicon 500?

 

Don't know the answer to your ?, but I do want to know how you broke the rear axle.

combination of aggressive tires, bad wheel bearing, and donuts....

[sarcasm] I had alot of fun driving it out of the trails on 3 wheels and loading/unloading.. [/sarcasm]

 

i just went out and looked on my foreman 450, looks like the same setup axel wise. the rubicon that year was mainly a foreman on steriord(engine). im sure the rear axel is the same
