As title

Well is it? Got a slight bind on my front i believe, Double decardons are rare and expensive, new wide yokes are also fairly expensive, Disco 2 props dnt have greasy nipples and therefore break anyway but i heard a rumour that the TD5 shafts are wide yoke. The photos of them make them look so to.

Running 2" lift, hope it will be the right choice

They are also double cardon as well

The joint is rebuildable (despite popular 'wisdom') and can be replaced with a greaseable version.

Hi Andy i meant TD5 defender props not Disco 2 props. Do you have any experience of the defender ones? they are considerably cheaper than Decardon ones.

Huh! I've been looking out for a Defender TD5 front axle to fit onto my 200tdi.

Am I going to have problems?

What's a wide yoke and also what is double cardon?
