disco prop

<< < (2/2)

denzil:
I had the same problem, changed the 3 hole flange to a 4 hole flange and SPACER yes it was feking tight,fitted new prop and its  been
ok for 6 months. you may need a puller to get the flange off I also changed the oil seal while i was at it.

Range Rover Blues:
Agreed, with a lifted the truck the rubber coupling is not the best thing, though when new they are ok, (must have been for LR to swap to using it).

Often they fail because the aupport bush inside the prop is duff or hasn't been changed, like with any prop though it's more likely to failshortly after fitting a lift kit.

lurch_917:
hi i have had no problem's with the doughnut on the 2 discos ive lifted = 7 years of ownership when fitted right ie: make shure the direction of travel put's the load on the thick part of the doughnut . i have known some of the pay and play lads do the flange change and blow diff's on a regular bassis . as when you remove the doughnut your removing a shock loader when one axel spins and the other dont think of the torq being put on the axel thats got grip for that split second till it catches up.
