Ok so I have been reading the write ups and how to section and have decided that rebuilding the front shaft may not be a job I want to tackle. Does any one have any experience with a good replacement serviceable front drive shaft like the one great basion rover makes? If not one they could recommend?

 

Check out Tom Woods, they are also good drive shafts.

 

Or contact Bill Davis at Great Basins Rovers in Salt Lake City, a shop with out 25 years of Rover Drive line service.

 

Thanks I will look into both. Are they simple bolt on application for the most part or will I need and special tools. Thanks for the advice. I am just discovering my inner mechanic thanks to my new discovery obsession.

 

I bought the Tom Woods. Eight bolts to replace. I couldn't get my truck jacked-up enough to get on my jack stands, so I took it to Goodyear. They installed for $70.00. Done, and no more worries.

Can't go wrong with either, IMO.
