Bad Vibrations

Range Rover Blues:
It wouldn't be th eonly thing that doesn't show up on a LR manual :evil:

TBH it was propshaft technology in Rotherham who sorted mine out, so I never bought the bush on it's own.  I'll look but don't hold your breath.

Hi again,
Tues mornin here!!! Typing this around toast!!  :shock:
Would the spigot being 15thou out be a problem? Never had changed the bush. Is there a ball in there to centre the spiigot or does it just rely on the rubber insert? :roll:

Range Rover Blues:
The spigot that comes out of the rear diff fits tightly inside a rubber sleeve or bush inside the back end of the prop.  15 though could be enough as you you are getting the chaffing on the doughnut itself, indicating it's running out of true.

Howdy!
Should there be an angle difference between the rear diff flange and the 3 spoke flange on the end of the drive shaft (causing the rotflex to be compressed at the 'top' and stretched at the 'bottom'? There isnt a huge difference but there is a difference and i'm picking the spigot inside the shaft will be causing the shaft to 'swing' a little as it sits further up the shaft than the 'centre' of the 'flex' joint.  :roll:Would I be correct in assuming this could cause a vibration? :-k

Isn't that the job of the doughnut... in place of a UJ it allows the prop & flange to be at different angles...?    :-k
