Prob shaft vibration

<< < (2/2)

4 landies:
 On the edge of the genuine donut are three small arrows, these arrows must point towards the prop and bolt onto the prop flange in the aligned holes.

 The non genuine ones never had any markings so where very easy to get wrong hence 3 in as many months.

 Genuine is still as new 12 months on even after some heavy laning with a 4" lift

 Hope that explanation is ok

Jonny Boaterboy:
ummm now that interesting I have had a look at the donut and have found there are little arrows (more of a triangle than an arrow) but not three they are all the way round. I'm thinking that they are telling me which way to put the bolts through as at the moment the bolts are all the same way. What do you think could this cause the vibration?

I forgot to say thanks RRB it was very good of you too offer your prop shaft Hopefully I will be able to sort mine out in the end!

4 landies:
 When I changed mine the bolts I took out faced opposite ways so put them back the same although I cant see it being a problem.

 The bolts through the prop flange face the rear and the bolts in the diff flange face forward.

 The small triangles face forward on the donut.

Jonny Boaterboy:
Sorry I didn't make myself clear Disco Diva, The little arrows are all the way round and take it in turns to point in different directions, i.e one points forward and the next point to the rear. I have taken out three of the bolts and turned them round so they are facing the same way as the arrows which has put all the bolts the way you described and guess what........ it's cured! Thinking about it it makes sense, with all the bolts the same way you have one end heavier than the other (the nut end) by having 3 one way and 3 the other they counter balance each other out

Thanks very much for all your help that another problem solved by Mud Club..... and another pint owed this time to you Diva
