Just out of interest does it need to be a DC joint. Would a wide angle joint not be adequate?

Not HAPPY Jan!!!!!
Just been having more heated discussions with ARB.
ARB had my car flat bedded to them today and have looked at my car and their own Defender and they claim that their own one has the same problem?
Now I find myself in between a rock and a hard place because:
ARB claim that their suspension DOES NOT change the angle of the prop shaft and the length of their shocks is only 2mm different than the OE shocks!
They have once AGAIN thrown it back to LR to now get it in writing that the problem is caused by their suspension change!
ARB are appearing to try and do the right thing by me and get the problem in writing from LR. (also covering their own backsides no doubt!)
They are willing to fit the double cardan uni, BUT, they don't believe that this will fix the actual problem and aren't happy just doing this and sending me on my merry way for it to fail down the track!!!! I won't be covered by warranty then and it will come back to ARB!
So my friends,
I am still without my car.
It's still costing me money everyday to get around without a car, ie, cabs.
I still don't have an answer when I'll get my car back.
They still can't tell me exactly what the problem is or what is causing it!
LR claim it's the suspension, ARB claim it's the uni or prop shaft or whatever it is this week and I'm none the wiser and I still have to fit the roofrack, uhf and antenna etc before we leave in exactly 21 days!
On top of that, I still wanted time to test all the mods that have been fitted!
It's now into day 18 since I had my car and it's anyones guess when I will get it back, plus I'm getting just that little bit extra pressure now from the missus to top it all off!!!:mad:
Not Happy Povman.
I think that sucks. I think I would be demanding they put it back to standard height, I would keep the shocks and get the dealer to fit 130 front springs to compensate for bar weight. I've been there with this problem and it seems the only logical fix without expensive prop shaft modifications.

povman - i would be talking to your local dealer and trying to get your hands on this product guide and specification sheet. it makes the whole issue sound pretty clear cut to me.Quote:

Hi. We have 2 pumas that are both lifted around 3.5 inches. Mine needed caster arms, d/c front driveshaft and the rear shafts unis phased. My brothers need just the caster arms and d/c front driveshaft.
In both of them, once lifted the standard front shaft bound up which would very quickly destroy it and possibly the tranfer.
Good luck!
PLEASE show me photoes, I now this thread is not really the place to do it but.Quote:
