I'll get it balanced as soon as I can work out the correct spline setup.

Thanks all.

If it has a dent, bin it, its just lost half its strength;)

Yeah, it's starting to dawn on me that this may be the case. Never thought about 'til now.

Might recover my new UJs though.

Eh .... Left that part out now .... didn't he :(


He can salvage it (if the cost is relevant) ... if the tube is cut out and replaced
Take it to a driveline shop and get it rebuilt .... should cost $350

or buy a second hand unit .... cheaper

Either way the shaft is knackered :(

So my local LR (non Stealership) dude tells me that I can drive this thing without the front shaft in if I put it in Difflock.

True or false?

And, If true, what timeframe can this be continued for?

Edit: It's OK. Did a forum search on the subject and looks like I can get away with no front prop. shaft for a while.
