    Replacing the uj's

    in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)

    Posted

    thanks a lot for the advice. what do you mean that the 2 grease nipple pointing in the same direction? i'm going to change both uj's on both prop front and rear. so when putting the new one's on a prop both grease nipple should be pointing in the same direction at both end of the prop!!! did i get that right or am i mis understanding something?

    thanks

    Hi there it's me again!! I'm going to replace my uj's on both front and rear prop I was wondering is there any alignment I should be aware when I putting them back on? And I notice on my front prop that I can see nearly 1inch of the splines! But it's not seized it looks that the dust cap had just come off and moves backwards! Is that fixable it's dry as well!

    Thanks

    cv joints

    hi there i did mine yesterday evening after work took me a couple of hours but it's easy enought as long as you take your time and pay attention of what you are doing you'll be fine. the only tricky part is to seperate the cv joint from the stub axle but it could be easy if place in a vise! i've taken pictures of disassemble and reassembly with the new cv i'm going to upload them hopefully during the week.

    p.s: that was my first attempt but with the help of the other lads so just ask for help if you are stuck

    actually that you mention it it more like a click click click noise than a rattling it happen everytime i turn the steering completely to the right.... and feel loads on vibration underneath my seats when i hit like 50 miles per hour! is that the same cause or may be the propshaft not line up properly? thanks for helping really appreciate
