Hi.
I am new, this is my second post. A bit about me and my Land Rover 90 200tdi (disco):-
https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/just-saying-hi.326304/#post-4187311
Anyway, as i say in my introducing myself post, i am learning very fast about looking after my 90. I've done a lot of research on here, manual and the land rover toolbox videos. Had some squeaking while driving, figured my front prop Ujs were done a couple of weeks ago and replaced them, squeaking problem solved. I marked up the flanges and the prop and made sure it went back on exactly as it came off.
Now i've been investigating a clunk in my gear changes. I had only previously checked the rear prop Ujs and not the prop splines. Having checked the splines with the handbrake off, i found them to be badly worn so ive ordered my replacement rear prop today. Looking at the knackered rear prop as it is, the slider is closer to the rear axle and from what i gather, this is the wrong war around. So this has given me doubts as to weather putting the front prop on exactly as it came off was the right thing to do. The slider is at the transfer box end as it should be, but the yolks are inline!
So now i don't trust the previous owners work.
So basically i am just after some reassurance that i need to pull the front prop back off and and re-position the yolks at 45 degrees to each other? I believe from watching the land rover toolbox videos that there should be arrows to align. I don't believe i saw any arrows. Is this only on defender props? Is the fact that the 200tdi in my 90 is from a disco a reason for the yolks being in line? I have attached photos of the prop before and after i had replaced the UJs.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
John
