Rear Prop Rubber Coupling

(1/2) > >>

gimpy:
I have a disco 2 and the rear rubber coupling has shreded again.
This was changed only last september and has failed again in less that 1000 miles

KingWolf:
Looking at your list of modifications in you sig you may find this is failing due to the suspension lift as I've heard of this problem before.

hi. i have a friend with a 300 series D1 which has a castor corrected 4" lift and he changes his every 6 months. i had the same problem with mine, only i had 250kg heavy duty rear +2" springs. it ate the doughnut in 35 miles so i changed it to a 200 prop and uj. i'm guessing its not that simple though on a d2.

My garage changed my rubber doughnut to a UJ in 30 minutes. Been fine since.

KingWolf:
IIRC from another post somewhere on here the rubber doughnut is usually ok upto a 2" lift. Over that and is can cause problems.
