Mine is a 1992 200TDi 90 Chassis No. JA...........
For the front prop....
Paddocks list RTC3291
Bearmach say RTC3458

RTC 3458 is too small.

Someone said use RTC3346, which is bigger, but specified for Chassis numbers up to CA...... (I guess it's possible that someone has fitted an earlier propshaft?)

Is the RTC3291 the bigger version, like RTC3346?

I is confoosed.

if you look at your prop shaft you should find a number on it... the number should help you sort the uj.

so that's the larger type yes?
which means that the bearmach fastparts manual is wrong and paddocks are right?

thanks G-Spot.

Old ones look to be about 17mm deep (hard to measure in situ).
Wrong ones (RTC3458) look about 12mm.

If ye're includin' the seal and retainer thingy that sits on the bearing cup, then that's 17.07mm. Probably best take the bugger out and get a better idea

Yes I did.
That says RTC3458 too, which is definitely wrong (for my prop anyway).
Cups are about 5mm too shallow.
