Disco 2 Back prop linkage

Ok that's me getting a few miles in after lots of other work, next job appears to be the back prop is clunking about, looks like linkage time, Q, is it straightforward ?

Yes, simple change of a single UJ or rubber doughnut. Both if you're feeling extravagent or they're both knakkered!

The drive from the shaft is ok, its the linkages above it I think.

I think you'll have to explain a little better about exactly which linkages you have in mind there, Ian.
The only "linkages" on the D2 rear prop shaft are as Pawl has said, the U/J or Hardy-Spicer at the front end and the rubber doughnut at the rear end.
A point to note regarding those joints, on a vehicle using all metric sizes, the nuts and bolts on the prop shafts are in fact 9/16 AF.

roll bar do you mean, if so is it ace and is it the bar bushes or drop links

Sorry chaps rear "diff" mounts

Sorry, still somewhat baffled. Maybe you could tell us what number it is on the attached picture:-

5 and 13 lol should have done my homework, I have been known to refer to parts by wrong names, I looked for a pic like that, no joy, thanks mate.

thats the watts linkage if its 13 and 5 youd want 3/18 or/and 9 / 15,

If it is the watts linkage,

This may be a good read.

Change all 4 bushes and the centre roller bearing while it's off. A lot of people just change the centre housing with the roller bearing and top/bottom link arm bushes already installed and leave the outer link arm bushes on the chassis ends.

Only use oem/genuine or proper decent poly bushes it ain't a job you want to do twice. Big press needed

All the pictures like that you could possibly want are all in RAVE. You should get yourself a copy.
