propshaft shimming

(1/4) > >>

boss:
OK Ive heard that if you put a spacer between the diff and propshaft or the transferbox and propshaft (to lengthen it)it reduces the prop angle slightly when lifting is this true or have i been told a stinking lie?! :-k

Range Rover Blues:
It will do nothing to the UJ angle but you can shim the propshaft, IIRC Wizard sell spacers too but these are to make the TD5 propshaft fit.

I can't imagine why you'd want to shim the rear prop at all though, as you lift it both the rear arms and the pro swing forwards slightly.

Disco-Ron:
YOu've been lied to.... if anything, technically it will actually make the angle the prop works at WORSE due to effectively making the distance between the flanges shorter.........

boss:
a lie! god damn it!
im wanting to put castor correction arms on the front but was told that i will need a wide angle propshaft/double cardon to account for the changing angles....thought i could get around the expence..

Ah, this is the spacer Wizard makes to fit the TD5 propshaft (the one with a Cardon joint).
