I last night I drove from Phoenix, AZ to Cortez, CO, which I did not realize till this morning that my 2003 Disco had developed a vibration. I finished my drive to Telluride (50 miles), and went skiing. I got back to the car and crawled under it hoping for the best... But I found that one of the grease seals broke and I have bare fresh metal showing on the ball joint with a slight sign of wear. I check to see if the joint was loss at all, and it still seems pretty solid and there is no clank when I put it into gear. But I know she is about to go and I dont know if it can take the 500 mile drive back to Rovertech in Scottsdale, AZ. So I determined I need to get it fixed up here. So here is my question, does anyone know of someone up here in Telluride that knows Land Rovers pretty well that can install a new driveshaft? I am going to try and get one overnighted on monday to Telluride to get here on Tuesday unless someone knows someone near by that has one.

Thank You

 

Also do I need to replace the whole driveshaft, or can I just get the double caradon joint replaced, long enough to get home and figure out a new improved driveshaft.

If you're just getting a new complete propshaft installed, any garage can do it, nothing unusual about Land Rovers in that respect.

 

Yeah, it's a pretty straight forward swap. They might even be able to to rebuild yours if you can't get ahold of one.

 

you can also remove the front shaft and engage the transfer box and run on the rears only to get u home, not sure what kinda tools u have on u though...

 

I don't think the '03 has a center diff lock.
