Thread: Cheap(er) Rotoflex....just don't

My first rotoflex lasted over 200k and I only replaced it for peace of mind (looked great and is my spare) and second is at 100,000 working with a 2 inch lift so very pleased. GKN though. Lot of.towing and offroading too. Having said that at 335,000 i can feel some slight clunking in the rear diff so it's on borrowed time. Cheers

C'mon no need to be smart were talking uni joints not engine mounts here I do hear wear you come from tho. Never had any other car with the Rotoflex it's only there for comfort and maybe to save a diff but a locker will kill a diff quicker than a uni imo. What I do love about the Rotoflex is you can change it in about 5 mins! That's about it though. You guys need a can of worms icon in emotions hahaha

How does a rotoflex save a diff and how does a locker kill a diff ??
The diff lock locks the diff out and the differential is not used at all. Fact , A diff will wear out faster and is weaker without a diff lock.

Stronger than welding the engine in place. LS unbreakable mounts.

Nothing is truly unbreakable! (Or idiot-proof, or unsinkable!)

I think in any LandRover context they are truly going to be unbreakable . The Nut will pull through the Engine mount outrigger first.

Your opinion Chris? or the uni?

A stronger Rotoflex possibility.

What happened to your Discovery 2 today?

Not sure if he went stock or the thicker version?
Hopefully he sees this thread and chimes in.
