Delta Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 My question is do I have to put a new rubber rotoflex (old one is broken) or change it for the old type (UJ). My disco 300tdi is lifted 2". I read this somewhere: 'The Romulus/300-series Discovery has a Rotoflex rubber doughnut on the rear propshaft, instead of the earlier Universal Joint - type propshaft. This is supposed to isolate noise from the drivetrain. However, many Disco-owners find the coupling to disintegrate quite rapidly. So changing for the old type is what lots of people do - especially if they have lifted their vehicles, it seems. Go here to a Discoweb Tech-article to learn how to change for the old-type! Do not forget to renew the pinion oil seal while you're there!' thanks in advance, Delta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 You can do either but for a lifted vehicle your best option is to change it for a UJ type shaft. You'll need a new shaft and a new flange for the rear diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 a 200 tdi disco or a range rover classic will fit i did the same with mine Is yours lifted as well? Mine is only 2" lifted. ??is it worth taking a UJ in the place of the rubber?? Does the 200 one gives you a better ride (articulation)? Can I take propshaft and flange of the 200 and will it just fitt on the 300? Sorry for my mistakes (my flemish is better Cheers for the replies Delta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
