mrfish Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I am experiencing a lot of play in the front prop shaft. I have just fitted a new shaft so I know that it is not the UJ. The question is where should i start looking for the fault. Half Shafts, Front Diff or centre diff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsu0san Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 When you say play, what do you mean? Does it have to rotate a long way before you get motion in the axels? Or is there a lot of lateral movement in the prop itself or does the diff input have lateral movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfish Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 With the hand brake engaged (X-Eng if that makes a difference) when i grab the shaft I can rotate it about 30 degrees. The shaft is new so i know that the UJs are good. I quickly had a look at the wifes 90 and there is negligable free rotation oh her fron prop.
