Thanks Mike.

Seems I found a centering ball Kit on Summit Racing. But waiting to see if they can send it to Mexico.

I have the new set of u Joints here but dont Know if I should replace them and balance the Drive Shaft or wait and see if I can Get the Centering Ball from Summit Racing. I have also the new Tranny Mount waiting to Go In.

On another post from You i Read That If I dont Replace the Centering Ball I Will Keep on having these vibration.

Seems the easy way out is to see if I replace U Joints and Mount will do the trick but Im a little sceptic about It.

I took My car to a shop last week. They mounted the car on a support thing that alowed the weels to spin freely and The bibration was really hard. at least Much harder than when I drive it on the road. Do you know why?

"The parts will be worthless to you. You need the equipment to rebuild the shaft and it has to be balanced. Most driveline shops aren't set up to these shafts and won't be able to help you. If you find one that can they'll charge around 300-400 to fix it. We just sell the complete shaft, the parts are for me to build them. "

Is this true.?
No, it's complete BS. Here are the parts you need.
http://www.discoweb.org/forums/showp...mp;postcount=1

If you use Neapco's PDQ u-joints you can do it for less than $100 in parts.
If you're careful doing it (putting things back together with the same orientation) you can often get away not rebalancing it, though that's typically only $50).

When using non-sealed u-joints they only do any good if you lube them properly, every oil change. If you're not going to do that (and good intentions don't count), then you're better off using sealed u-joints, they'll last longer.

Is this what I Need ? or where can I get it?
That's the seal that's in the centering kit, but you need the whole kit. Any good autoparts store should be able to get it.
NAPA
O'Reilly
Parts Plus

Advance and Autozone can get the Neapco/PDQ part
Any local driveline shop can get either of them as well.

Thank You VERY MUCH ... finally found it in Rock auto. Napa wont ship to Mexico.
I allready contacted them so ItĀ“s Just a Matter of Time.

And Anti christ Yes it seemed like BS. but thanks for the advise and Ive turned somewhat Mechanical these last Year with my Disco. They are not very common cars in Mexico and we depend on LR Shops For Parts witch are Way to Expensive For example a Transfer Case costs 7700 USD Plus Tax plus Installation so it adds Up to arround 10,000 a simple U Joint non Greaseable costs 285 USD Plus everithing else. So Ive been Buying all these parts from Online shops. I have other cars but Really Love my disco since it was my Grandfathers who Left it To Me. So Thanks again for Your advise.

javoli001,

It does not show in Rock Auto's database, but I assure you, the Precision 617 is compatible

Disco Mike will concur as well

Sorry, didn't see your question. No, you need the complete centering ball kit.
