Double carden drive shaft

Post by 86MUD »

Hi all

I am in need of a new front drive shaft. I keep chewing out the uni joint at the transfer case end. Must be due to 3" spring lift.

So...anyone know of where I can get a new drive shaft made in Brisbane with a double carden joint at one end so suit my Rangie?

Cheers

Andrew

Hardy Spicer or Driveline services.

You will be looking at around the $700 mark.

The Hardy Spicers have a bigger LC sized DC joint that will mate to the Rover DC flange.

try four wheel drives, they had some to suit a stage 1, just fab up an adaptor plate for your transfer. i paid 450 about 3 or 4 years ago.

A flange for the stage 1 DC shaft to the LT230 would be very very nice. They're heaps beefier.

The genuine DC D2 shaft is a bit weak too. Given the Hardy Spicer shaft is about $400 more and comparably indestructible.....
