    front driveshafts

    what is the best way to go these days when it comes to replacing the front tailshaft on a series?

    better to get a one from one of the drive shaft mobs or go with one from the land rover parts guys?

    hearing so much about crap drive shafts these days...

    I bought a pair of Bearmach ones from a local mob, but they haven't been installed yet so no feedback there.
    As far as I have noticed, tailshaft problems are experienced by people putting aftermarket parts on modified cars, not stock standard. But then Madge is lifted over civvy factory standard...

    interestingly , I have the front drive shaft out of my 2a at the moment and I dropped it on the garage floor coincidently next to the buggered front prop shaft from my d1, I haven't picked them up to check bolt spacing, but they appear to be exactly the same in length and diameters.
    I will look closer at them in the morning and see if they really are the same.
