Front propshaft phase offset

No part of the first two look phased.

They look like they're after market ones not genuine ones fitted by Land Rover at the factory. They're also just photos on a shops website, not official documentation from the manufacturer.

Looking at the diagrams in RAVE, in Microcat, looking at actual parts taken off actual P38s and comparing them to the aftermarket parts you're showing us here, and on top of that countless other people's experiences I'd say they're wrong. As are you.

Can we just leave it now? If you can't accept you're mistaken after all this I think you're just never ever ever going to accept it.

Are you religious?

Funny how all the suppliers use the same incorrect photos, even photos of genuine parts have been doctored to look like after market ones. If you want to pay £441.44 for a genuine FTC4140 or £439.81 for a genuine TVB000130 in the hope that they are slightly phased be my guest. If Land rover at sometime did fit slightly phased front props to the P38 you can't bloody get them anymore it would seem.

I accept your apology.

There was no apology. I cannot be held responsible for what Land rover fit from time to time, i can only tell you what you can get now. Unless as i said you want to pay daft money for a genuine item and hope it is what you think should be fitted, then be my guest. I think i know the way most P38 owners will be going.

Looks like the front one is slightly offset.

So's mine. Look original. 1995 manual diesel, although given the year anything could have ended up on mine.

Same shaft as the petrol versions. Will have a look at my auto diesel in the morning.

50mph then turn into the drive.

Wondered if anyone would notice that. Must have had the phone upside down.

Result?

As far i remember, all P38 propshafts are very very slightly phased - it's because it had different angles on UJ, and they saved money by not fitting double cardan.

Sorry for all the ****, but for me if a prop is phased it is inline. If it is not phased it is out of line. This offset is measured in degrees from fully phased.

I think that's right, isn't it? And I think everyone said that too but somewhere things got a bit confused, possibly with the ****part one being phased, or maybe the term "inline" might be safer.

I still suspect that ****part one is also used on the Disco 2 or similar and is sold as such but can be twisted round for the P38.
