Taking the Discovery in today or tomorrow. I called them this morning and they asked that I put together a list of all my concerns. They would then address each of them. Very pleased to hear this. Over the past few days I've started to notice a small vibration in the vehicle. It started after sitting in heavy traffic and once the vehicle had been accelerated. I've also noticed a lot of squeaking on speed bumps from the shocks and a bit of a sway after going over those bumps.

Looks like I won't being doing any of my own work yet. I'm going to make sure I take advantage of this warranty while it lasts hehe. I also know the dealership pretty well.

 

On the propshaft, forget about the dealer for it. Unless they are exceptional they don't rebuild them, they just replace with new OEM for $1,000 or something stupid.

Forget about how many grease fittings it has. Even if you have 3 (or 4 including the slip joint) if you don't have complete documentation that it was lubed at minimum every 5k miles or 3 months, you should get it rebuilt, or rebuild it yourself if you want to tackle that.
Read the Propshaft Rebuild thread in the general tech section.
If you aren't going to lube it on schedule, then use sealed u-joints, they will last longer than greaseable u-joints that aren't lubed properly.

Also look though the write-ups sticky at the top of the Discovery section, it has a lot of stuff there you can do.

 

It's funny because Harbor Freight has lifetime warranty on most of their pittsburgh line of hand tools. You don't even need a receipt. I have broken a few HF tools (abuse mainly) and got a replacements no questions asked. I started out with HF tools and they have served me exceptionally well. That being said I am in the process of upgrading to better brands (williams, proto, wera, matco, snap on etc.) and getting some smoking deals via ebay.

 

I'm not advocating between any mfgr or another because I have some good stuff and some import tools. But just as an observation, between me, my brother and a buddy of mine, we have about every major air tool HF has. We've had them for a good 10 years, some going on 20 years. We typically buy the "Professional" version of an air tool if there is a choice and they are better built and generally seem identical to certain CP or IR air tools. We do a lot of bodywork and restorations but we aren't a production shop. I can honestly say I've never had a HF air tool crap out - EVER. I do know my brother had a couple HF DA sanders that the main bearing went out on, but I'm certain it was from abuse because he also ruined my Chicago Pneumatic DA bearing (I replaced the bearing twice!). Just pushes too hard. I'd say my brother's HF 1/2" impact (IR 231 clone) is actually better than my IR 231 impact wrench. It's got a few metal parts where the IR has plastic. It also seem to have a tad more umph. A lot of folks don't realize that most of the air tools that CP and IR sells these days are made in Taiwan anyway (probably on the exact same assembly line as HF tools) ..but at 3x the price.

Besides the warranty on HF tools they all come with a parts beakdown. Many owners aren't aware that you can also get parts for them. I've gotten a few very wierd parts for a few tools on multiple ocasions that I was suprised they would be able to get. They were very cheap too. There's a catch though, sometimes they have to come from China (a couple weeks). I've had a part that came from China and cost a buck or two.

At the same token, there are a number of USA made tools that are a genuine treat to use and far beyond the import tools. One that comes to mind is my Hutchins DA sander. So smooth you wonder why all air tools weren't like that. Some of the Snap-On stuff has such a wonderful finish and construction, they are a treat just to hold onto.

 

one of the cheaper options is to buy a rebuilt driveshaft from toddco suspensions.

some will say Tom Woods, but they're probably too burly/overkill for your use.
