Thread: leveling a defender puma

I had genuine Land Rover HD springs fitted to the front of my puma to handle the 140Kg weight of the bull bar and winch. Since they are genuine springs factory designed for the vehicle there was no need for a double cardan joint.

no, Td5 110 propshaft is good for up to 2" lift,
its only the Pumas that run into trouble when you lift them because the motor/gbox/tcase is all on uphill and canted over angle

any lift on a puma and you run into trouble

that said I had 130 front springs on mine (with bar and winch) and found it too stiff. King standards are just right (for me)

That's what concerns me. From my understanding the front of most Pumas aren't sagged its just how they come. So when I fit new springs its going to raise the front 1-2 inches.

Hi Aaron,
Sorry to off the topic of this thread, I happened to come across another thread you posted regarding greasing the propshaft. Have you found the grease nipples for sliding splines? I can't find them on my 2.4 puma.

Thanks.

That would have been me posting with my old TD5.

Are you talking about the nipple on the shaft itself?

Give this a crack! Hope you get greasy nipples soon.

Oh, I thought you were talking about 2012 puma defender. Just re-read the post, it was a 02 one.

yup, I suppose there's a nipple(other than the 2 in u-joints) for greasing the sliding splines on each shaft, but can't find it.

There might be a small bolt in the nipple hole. Remove the bolt and fit a nipple, then grease to your hearts content.
