Didn't feel like trying to rebuild my front drive shaft as I don't have the tools for it so I ordered a new one from Drive Shaft Power in Lake Worth, Florida. Has 4 grease fittings and has a 2 year warranty. Comes fully greased and ready to go. It was $311 including shipping. Wasn't too hard to replace once I let the bolts soak in PB blaster for awhile. Went for a test drive. No noises, no vibration. While I was under there, I greased the rear drive shaft. It obviously wasn't done in awhile as it took about 6 pumps of the grease gun. Now onto the brake fluid flush and the differentials...

Sounds like a winner to me! Do they have a website that you can order this from? I'm at uhm....102,000 (woops) original driveshaft. So $311 with shipping sounds like a deal.

 

Their website is www.driveshaftpower.com but there's not a lot of info on the Disco shaft. The best way to get it is thru their ebay store. Go to ebay and search for item 230529303624 I just checked and it shows he has 2 left.

Thanks for the info. I live about 5-8 miles from that place. I gotta go down that way this week. I'll check 'em out.

 

make sure when you grease the shafts that you pump new grease in until you can see it coming out to make sure all of the old grease has been expelled.

 

You may also want to check out Toddco (http://www.toddcosuspensions.com/index.html). I just bought a front diff from them and they are pretty decent to work with - although sometimes hard to reach by phone. They have them on sale nfor $279.

 

Make sure you buy 2 quarts of DOT 4 for your brake flush and consider switching to an 85W/140 gear oil for the diffs. and t/case, 7 quarts.

 

I wondered about the gear oil. Rave says 75W90, but your 60k service list has both. Also would like to know why you recommend synthetic brake fluid. Not arguing, just would like to know.

Go with the 85W140 Mike mentioned. I used Royal Purple synthetic.

 

I put in 75w90, what the manual said. What's the difference? Obviously thicker, but are there benefits/downfalls?
