110 Defender front drive shaft noise

[Landy Steve]

After fitting Old man emu 40-50mm raised front springs my 110 has a noise from the front drive shaft on trailing throttle in sixth gear at 100km/h. I suspect it must be from uni joint angles after the lift as I swapped the original springs back and it went away. Can any one let me know of a remedy to this problem?

Oh dear, oh dear...

LOTS of threads here on that.

If it is a PUMA then the fix seems to be double-carden (spelling?) prop shaft.

Gear box gets stuffed real fast using standard prop with a lift. Basically, do not lift a PUMA.
