Ben1982 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hi, Can anyone tell me if the propshafts on a 300TDi should slide easily on the center telescopic joint? I have had to remove the rear shaft and had been told that it should slide like a stiff damper to allow it to move over the pin in the rear diff but mines almost solid tight and will only budge with a hard hit from a hammer. Reason for removing the shaft was to replace the rubber coupling that looked like it had twisted and had split. What is the correct 'stiffness' for the shaft? Easy to slide or needing a wallop? Thanks Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Attryde Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Should slide reasonably easily. Definately shouldn't need to hit it with a hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jil6939 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 It should slide easy but if you pump to much grease into it you can make it hydraulic untill it forces the grease back out to a usable level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
