Thread: Front Driveshaft uni joint replacement?

    Front Driveshaft uni joint replacement?

    Hi, I am trying to get a RWC and the only thing the mechanic found was that the two rear uni joints in the front driveshaft have too much 'play'. Is this a reasonably simple fix or should I be looking at replacing the whole driveshaft?

    They can be rebuilt by a driveshaft shop or probably a mechanics.

    Wow, that's great! Only problem is that I have to have this fixed by next weekend so am now going to try to replace the whole front Propshaft. Any recommendations of where I can get a replacement one and get it express posted to me in that type of timeframe?

    MR automotive.

    If they can get me a brake vac pump to katherine in 2.5 working days (ordered it just after lunch on monday and it was on my doorstep end of play wednesay I'm confident they can get you the shaft in time.

    alternatively roverlord offroad spare would be a good bet.

    pay very close attention to the centering "pin" that the internal bearing runs on if its got any damage you need to replace the unit. DO NOT EVEN think about giving this bit any "nahh it'll probably be right" attitude. if you do the rebuild. Its worth pulling the shaft down to apply more and better grease to the centering bearing, I've had to rebuild one of these that was supplied installed with only the initial protective grease from the bearing factory.

    on edit. Given your location Roverlord offroad spares is probably your best intial bet hes closer.

    Do you have a Hardie Spicer agent / branch nearby. I had all three uni joints replaced on the front prop shaft of my D2 replaced with heavy duty greasable units and the shaft re-balanced by the local Hardie Spicer branch here in Kalgoorlie.
