Thread: Tom Woods front drive shaft fitment

It doesn't look right to me, as the socket for the splines is not all that much longer.

I assume the weight of the car is on the wheels.

How much spline was open on your previous shaft?

Check the compressed length and extended length against your stock shaft. They should be pretty much the same.

I bought a Tom Woods shaft direct from US for a D2 many years ago
It didnt have that much spline exposed on a level surface.
When I ordered it I quoted the distance between the the flanges
Perhaps send your pics to TW in US for an opinion
Mine didnt have a boot on the spline

The new shaft did require balancing as it introduced a vibtration. I was surprised a brand new shaft would arrive out of balance

That is with the disco sitting on level ground. By the looks of it, it wouldn't take much for it to pop out when off roading. I bought it here in Hallam. So I might need to get on to them and see what they say.
Thought I would check here first to see if anyone had the same problem.

I've not seen one of those before, a clean bell housing.

I've got one (from Melb). I'll check it out tomorrow and let you know

So that looks quite similar to mine. Do you have a 2 inch lift? Have you had any issues with it?
Thanks
