Wow, I’m impressed;
I just took the Defender for a test drive after fitting the new prop shaft and virtually all vibration in the steering has ceased up to 90KPH.
Only slight vibration at 100KPH and the vehicle is fitted with heavy MT tyres.
I realise that a worn prop shaft can cause vibration under the vehicle, but I honestly think that the behind the steering wheel experience is smoother.
I’m changing out all the worn track rod ends and installing flash Sumo stainless steering gear and Range Rover straight arm to replace the drop arm in place of all the original gear.
After the suspension is fitted, all camber corrected (even flasher Superior Engineering radius arms) and aligned, I’m expecting a very comfortable Defender to drive at road speeds!
I’m off to order a new Gwyn Lewis rear prop shaft!
