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..

the wide angle/cardon prop is not critical, some trucks need it, some don;t, fit the arms and see if you get horrid vibrations... if you don;t, you've got away with it!

Search E-Blag for TD5 and propshaft, there were a few on earlier.

The Td 5 prop is 50mm shorter than a 200/300 prop. 670mm against 620mm. If you lift a early disco some seem to suffer vibration problems more than others.

The spacer i have is for the 200/300 front prop and for some strange reason they do seem to reduce vibration in most cases, but this seems to go against most logic as the prop would be 10 or 15mm shorterdepending on the spacer fitted.

My disco has a 3 inch suspension lift and was chewing up front prop UJ's every 6 months, i put on a double carden joint from what i was told was a TD5. It was 50mm shorter than the 200 prop so i added in a 50mm spool piece.
this lasted about 8 months and the UJ's fell apart. it turns out the prop was from a early 110.

I then sent it to the propshaft clinic in Bradford for a full rebuild and its been perfect ever since.

regards
wizard
