gadget Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I've stripped my props and found why the sliding joint end of the rear was covered in goo. In the centre of the yolk on the extending piece there are holes and a circular recess that seems like it should hold some form of cap to prevent the splined joint ejecting its grease. The cap would fit where the red bit is here: Is the cap obtainable or am i looking for a replacement prop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landrovernuts Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 There is meant to be a small hole there to allow excess grease out when the sliding joint compresses when the suspension rises. My props and the many I have on the floor of the workshop all have a hole! Toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadget Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 A very nice man as Firow propshafts looked at it knowingly and gave me a plug for it. Apparently there are two versions of plug. One plastic and one rubber. Sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
