DiscoStu Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hi all. I had a couple of UJ's knocking around in the workshop and after my truck (Disco 300Tdi) developed a bit of a vibration I thought I'd treat the front prop to an overhaul. The UJ's were both bought from Paddocks a while ago and were ordered as a front and rear for a 300Tdi. When I came to fit them, one was fine, the other I realised after half an hour of faffing around trying to make circlips sit right was the wrong size. Specifically the cups were a couple of mm deeper and the trunions were more substantial also. I was under the impression that all the UJ's on both front and rear props were the same and also the same across the 200/300 range, the only exception being (Possibly) the V8. Is this wrong, are there different joints for different props/series? Enlightenment required, Stu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangemach5 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 More than likely its had one of the props changed at some point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
