Greetings guys, I have come to not trust my local dealership, due to some fishy stuff happening while my truck is there, whilethings I never had problems with breaking or going wrong soon after a visit to their facilities.

SOOOO, even if the dealer inspected the front driveshaft'su-joints and said that they were perfecly fine and very solid, I would like to change them with greasable ones. But no one around here has any listing for Land Rovers.

So my question is.....I think I've heard something about Volvo u-joints that would fit or something like that.Could someone recommend which u-joints to use with a part number please. Also, how many do I need. 2 or 3 ??? I think I recall that the front driveshaft has 1 u-joint a the bottom, and 2 up top because of the double cadran type attachment. right???

Thanks for any info,

Darover

 

Any auto parts store from Auto Zone on down has listing for both the u-joints and the centering kit.
You can also go to Rover Connection,com, they have them.

Thanks Mike, maybe in the States everybody has hem, but up here in Canada, even the specialised companies have nothing listedfor Land Rovers. I was told to bring it in and they would take them off andtry to match them!?! Thing is...I'd like to do it myself.

 

You might want to order a good set of u-joints from Rover Connection, they are a few bucks more but also moe heavy duty.
Take care,
Mike

 

The u-joints for a Volvo 240 are the same I believe. A search of the forum should pull up the part numbers pretty easy.

 

Found em for ya:

NEAPCO # 1-0005 from Autozone, with the needle stlye fitting on the end instead of in the crook of the joint.
Centering kit/ball and seal Part PUJ 617

 

Noted, thank you much.

 

Rondo,
Of the subject, are you coming up for the Nationals?

Where do you find a centering kit for a 2003 Discovery HSE? Not listed in Autozone-

Thanks!

 

Thats because its not a discovery part per-se. Have them search by part number or go to Napa if the knuckledraggers can't find it for you.

Nationals? Know nothing about it... Have to search the forum for more info.

Edit: just googled it. Don't think I'll be paying upwards of $150 to run trails
