cush drive

(1/3) > >>

woody:
replaced this last week an as far as i was concerned i put new on the same way as the old one

but i have been told that they should be fitted only one way or they fall appart

which is the correct way

Disco Matt:
I'm guessing you mean the rubber donut found at the diff end of the rear propshaft? There probably is a correct way around, but I'd have thought fitting it the same way around as the old one would be enough.

wizard:
I have been dying to ask what a cush drive was !!!!

wizard :twisted:

boss:
thought a "cush drive" was a thing made by ashcroft that bolt on to your hub to absorb any energy from a spinning wheel that suddenly gets traction....if you mean the donut thing on the rear propshaft....get rid of it! there a PITA

Disco Matt:
It might well be the Ashcroft thing, I'd never heard of those!  :lol:

I would love to meet the individual who fitted a rubber donut in place of a proper UJ. How was that supposed to be an improvement? I suspect that mine might now be protesting about new standard height springs, so I'm planning to just replace it for now and switch to a 200 TDI prop if I ever get the cash together for an ARB diff lock on the back end.
