Interesting!

So what do the morons who took apart their props and chucked all the bits into a box 3 months ago do to get it all back in phase when it comes to rebuilding?? :eek::eek::rolleyes:

Legend! :)

I've not read that all the way through but it looks like my 88 needs to be rebuilt in-phase. Looks simple enough.... :high5:
 
iirc they increased the nose angle from the series to help stability at higher speeds.. *i think*

i read why ages ago and can't quite remember ;)
 
All very interesting .....



I'll stick with my standard series front axle and LT77 running permanent four wheel drive though ....

Its a tad notchy at low speeds in a tight dry carpark ....other than that no signs of the sky falling down due to lack of CV joints in the front axle .

Mind nothing will stop that myth cropping up every now and again lol

IF i'm parking in a supermarket carpark AND it's dry then yes you can feel the uj's ....

Other than that you wouldn't know .....The MYTH i was referring to was the usual forum chestnut of .....

Use a stage 1 front axle with CV joints or the whole landrover will explode,the sky fall down and all your children be eaten by wild dogs .


NOT that it can be notchy at slow parking speeds in the dry .
 
So am I right that the scan of the manual that wolf posted is referring to the Defender propshafts? As far as I can see, the Series 3 differentials are in the parallel plane to the transfer box.

The official Land Rover series manual doesn't mention anything about the angles in the propshaft section.

The new Bailey Morris propshafts I bought seem to be set up in phase. I am hoping that I don't need to remove them again and re-align them.

series props are in phase , defender rears are too
 
James,I have run my 1990 90 with front prop in phase since I had to replace it [splines gone] a dozen years ago with no problem other than a couple of sets of uj's,should I change it ?

Ok thanks James.

One thing is that the diagram in the manual shows the sliding member of the front shaft 90° out of phase with the shaft itself. This way both UJs are in the same phase, but the shaft itself out of phase. Is there any significance to that, or is it just the way the drawing was done?
