Hey all,

I'm still pretty new to the Disco and fixing vehicles overall. I've read a number of posts that Disco IIs need their ujoints and driveshafts rebuilt/replaced but I can't for the life of me figure out the status of mine. I've attached a few pictures. Can anyone tell me if what I have is what I need or if I need to replace? Thanks!

 

The fact that your weight on the front shaft is almost rusted off is enough cause to replace.

It’s hard to really know unless you remove the driveshaft and check the movement for any “clunkiness”.

 

Go for it. Replace it since it is the older stock model.

 

YES, time for new driveshafts... give Lucky8 a call and order a set. I would NOT wait to replace the FRONT!!
Start spraying the old nuts/bolts with some penetrating oil to make removal easier.

It would pay to replace the whole front shaft with Cardan as unless the centring bearing is replaced it's not worth doing and the centring bearing replacement can be a real PITA especially if your toolkit is limited. If you lose the balance weight off of the driveshaft the vibration will be so horrendous and soon destroy any new UJ's fitted.
