front UJ

<< < (3/7) > >>

DIL:
Any luck finding the problem yet m8?


--- Quote from: "davidlandy" ---on the front prop the angles are at 45deg so as to stop binding unlike the rear prop that is set in line

Wot is meant by the term 'Binding' on the front prop? :?

Mace:
OK guys, I checked my front prop out of curiosity to discover my yolks are set at around 30 degrees. Not right either way !!!

Question, does the prop just pull apart and slot back in again if I want to rotate the yolks or are they held together with circlips and the like ?

Thought I might try a little experimentation :-)

davidlandy:
I say its 45 degrees because it looks like that ! , so best that we somehow check this.

having said that , if its not shakin and vibrating then I would leave it as is.

for info the prop does just pull apart theres nothing holding it together.

Mace:
Dave, I just want to make sure because I've always had what I thought was prop vibration, especially since I put the 1" lift on it. I've changed all U/J's to be sure but it's still there, especially around the 30mph mark which can be frustrating at times. The front prop has a balance weight on it and I've got a small amount of play on the front diff flange. I'd just put it down to the small increase in angle since the lift.

I'd be interested to know what the prop yolks should be set at. 45 degrees or just not in-line. It will be interesting to find out if changing my yolk angles makes a difference.

davidlandy:
i shall look at the manual when i get home
