    also for anyone interested,,
    the ball joint was an absolute bastard to get out,,
    aparently


    Pedro, the only differences i can see are that mine has a chamfered edge where the centre race is and it came with a seal which was exactly like the piece that came out. Was there a seal in your kit ?
    Your right about getting the old one out. It took a bit of encouragement with a cold chisel and a FBH.

    Cheers

    Mike, it's an auto. Have your shafts been balanced properly? This is important......

    Not sure about the chamfer ??? maybe it gives me more flex

    But i would've thought the seal was pretty important...

    Cheers

    I'm wondering how everyone who has rebuilt their joints has gone? I have a 1999 Series @ Dico - just got back from a trip to the cape and the joint closest to the transfer case has gone (I'm pretty sure it's that one). I got the other end rebuilt last year and a greasable joint put in. Prior to the trip, I got new suspension all round, which made it a probaly 1-2" lift over stock.
    If replacing the joints with greaseable versions is all good, then I'd definitely look at that (save myself quite a few hundred I would imagine), however if they have proved to fail again, I'll stick with the full shaft replacement and deal with it again when it breaks (have now done 235,000km, so should get another 100,000km?).

    Front Shaft - how many uni's

    Hi all - called cbc for a price on uni's for D2 2002 model td5 - quoted $20 each but stated Disco has four total uni on car according to their manual. I explained the front has a double cardan joint so thats two to start with plus the rear of the front that would = 3 for the front according to me and 2 at rear. Im getting big vibrations on the car between 75-80km/hr and am thinking its the uni on the front shaft and want to replace myself. Can someone explain to me how many do i need for the front and is the rears worth doing or not. Travelled 150k. seems like a straight fwd job removing and replacing. anything else worth changing while Im at it. cheers
    At these prices front should only cost $40-$60 to fix an annoying wobble.
