I looked at the pics again, thats 100% not a GKN or Spicer shaft. GKN uses a press fit weld. Those are bead welds. Look at the u-joint end, if there are clips thats further confirmation. GKS only uses press-in followed by a press crimp or something to hold them in. I went through all that before when being sold an "OEM" GKN that was in fact no one. This is a pic I have of my original stamped GKN and my new stamped GKN after I found a reliable source from the UK. You can see the type of welds used, very thin. And there is no variation, its how they are made. Even contacted AllMakes directly about it since that was what it looked like I was sold and they said it was theirs, not a GKN/OEM part.
4.4? You in the states? I just swapped throttle bodies between two engines for diagnostic reasons and only found out both are good, did not fix issue. So if used is okay, I can get you one if you are in the states. But FIRST, make sure the harness connector is not slopping off. The plug connector tab breaks and they can eventually vibrate off.
I think i will need to replace it im in the bronx NY by the way

Put in a new set of spark plugs, changed front diff oil, and installed trailer ebrake controller. Changing the plugs was not as bad as I had thought it was going to be.
I put mine to work. Sometimes the previous owner leaves some weird stuff in the woods on your property.
Soft shackles are the swiss army knife of recovery gear so damn handy. Got that pulled around and ready to go on the trailer just like the minivan I unearthed yesterday.
Fixed my ability to not connect to bluetooth via my iPhone... previously, my phone would not discover the "LAND ROVER" bluetooth receiver... so I had that on my TO DO list.
To be safe, I disconnected the battery while installing a new set of spark plugs. After a couple hours, hooked everything back up. to my surprise, bluetooth was now working. Imagine that. LOL
