Just about to order some new UJ's for my front prop but have now found out there are 2 different sizes. 75mm and 82mm. Is there an easy way to find out which ones I need to order?? Can they be measured whilst still on the vehicle and if so where do I measure from or will my prop have some number on it or anything??

Its an 1985 90 but has been converted to a 300 TDi if thats any help??

depends on how it was converted ,with engine and transmission forward like lr did in which case it should be smaller rtc3458 or if early shaft larger rtc3346 ,measure across yoke the larger couldnt fit in smaller

Get underneath and measure the width across the outside of your propshaft yokes.
If it's about 93mm, you have the earlier type and need UJ part number RTC3346.
If it's about 87mm, you have the later type and need UJ part number RTC3291.

Cheers fellas. Just measured and it was about 85mm (depending on where you measure it) so I take it this means I need the 75mm UJ's??
