bishbosh Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Just discovered that one of the yokes on my rear prop has a chunk missing out of it so I need to replace it. Looking on Paddocks site there are numerous props listed. How do they differ? I would have thought that the LT230 stays in the same place relative to the rear axle irrespective of gearbox or engine combo? The vehicle was originally a 1989 2.5TD with LT77 and LT230. Now it is 200TDi and ZF auto B) . However, the t-box has not moved position. So, before I go place a wanted add, which prop do I need? Cheers!

Guest WALFY Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Bish I think all rear props are the same give or take. I know the size of the UJ is different but the prop length is the same. Mine was a 2 1/2 petrol/ 3.5V8 /3.9 V8 and now 200TDI. Always used the same prop. I have several props in the garage, my original and a couple of spares that I have found at work. So on that assumption all rear props are the same size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Bish - they are pretty much the same but go for a wide angle one if i were you, Propshaft Clinic or Devon do them, or make your own by fitting early rangie flanges to a std prop body. Is it the prop body thats damaged or the flange that goes on the axle/tbox? if the latter i have spare ones. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! I had a collapsed bearing in my rear and had a bit of a mare as it tuned out someone had fitted a front prop fitted at the back!!! Anyway I have a 90 with a 200tdi fitted and fitted a FRC8392 propshaft (a drum brake prop although not sure there is any difference between that and the disc'd axel?) A Prop tool makes life easier when attacking the bolts if you haven't already got one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 OK, Been looking at new prices - Britpart around £60, GKN / Hardy Spicer around £100 and wide angle custom jobbies £160. Is a wide angle really necessary? I'll be running 11" travel shocks, so nothing mind blowing. £160 is a lot of money for an oily bit that adds no bling! So, Mark, you listening? Wanna rehome one of your spares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Bish I have a few kicking around the garage from my 90 days. Some rear, some front in a variety of states of wear and tear. They are yours if you want them, I will be passing your place of work on Friday lunchtime. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
