Disco II driveshaft rebuild
Let me get this straight...
1.Disco II front drive shafts are bad because they did not come with greasable u-joints. If those stock u-joints fail they will ruin my tranny costing me thousands of dollars? 2. If I drop the front drive shaft and replace the u-joints with greasable ones I'm okay?...or do I need to replace the hole drive shaft? 3. Anybody got a link to a site that offers the greasable u-joints? |
You are correct, but have you ever rebuilt a double cardon drive shaft, if not, might want to find a shop that will for around $200.
Parts numbers, Percision 344 u-joint and a Percision 617 centering ball kit. |
For the parts go to rockauto.com.

Here's a good write up on it.

Can't thank you guys enough for all the help...I will start getting the parts and calling shops today--CG

most driveline shops will carry the parts. Call and get a quote for the re-build and balance. By the time you pay shipping for supplying your own parts, it will be the same as the mark up from the shop.
