just replacing the front drive shafts, along with a lot of other bits, left side gone back a treat, however, the fight side will just not slide into the ird/gearbox try as i might.
any ideas?

More ignorance along with some twisting.


After you triple checked there isn't any obvious difference between old and new that is. ;)

You need to check that the bearing support journal (smooth surface below the spline) is the same size as the original joint.
There are also no C clips in the grooves.

It's not an OE joint, so will probably vibrate anyway.

I'd only fit an OE (GKN) joint, as aftermarket replacements vibrate on the Freelander.
