Free play in halfshaft / drive flange.

<< < (2/2)

Range Rover Blues:
You can live with that I hope, very reasonable.  Unfortuantely the wear in the outer ends is mirrored by wear at the diff end and this is harder to fix.

Mace:
I know a 300tdi has fix flanges to half shafts so I can't comment on my rear play, but if the 200 tdi rear set up is the same as my 300 tdi front hubs then I can say without a doubt, replace the drive flanges.

I replaced mine (£7.60+VAT) from www.land-rover-parts-shop.com and it took out 80% of the play in my front end half shafts. Well happy. They also sell genuine ones too if you want to be generous :-)

Henry Webster:
From my experience the diff end does not wear anything like as fast as the flange end.  Worth replacing.  I have rarely seen the splines fail on the diff end, but regularly seen the flange fail.

replaced my front ones the other month, surprising how much difference they made.
