front drive shaft / half shaft / axle

[blindin]

Hi Guys.
I am chasing some part numbers please.
I have been having some problems lately with my 97 p38.
One of my issues is my front left drive shaft / half shaft, or what ever your choice of name is.
I've got a new cv joint fitted, but the collar on the shaft came loose and of course will not hold the oil in the housing now.
I had glued it back on, but only lasted a week with about 50km of driving.
So, looking for a new drive shaft. the complete unit including the cv joint is
TDB104090

But as funds are very tight, I am thinking I'll knock off the cv joint I just put on, and replace the shaft. So, who knows the part number.
I am thinking that a disco 2 shaft is the same, but as I do not know, nor find the part number, I have no way of checking. I know that the complete unit with joint is different.
Reason I would like to know is that a d2 shaft is easy to find. A p38, not so easy. ( well not for a cheap price.


Thanks in advance.
Simon

Hi Simon, I can't help you with the part number, but when I replaced my cv joint, I used a big plastic cable tie to hold the rubber boot on.
I had to grind down the clamp part of the cable tie a little bit so it would not catch on anything, but it has held on perfectly for nearly two years now.
Cheers, Pete.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for that, but the collar I'm referring to is pressed onto the shaft. It is the part that the axle housing / diff oil seal runs on.
I certainly wouldn't be replacing the shaft for the cv boot. Lol.
