PROPSHAFTS

They feature:

• Double Cardan propshafts are used to help reduce propshaft vibrations on lifted vehicles, especially after caster correction.
  
• Slip joint is at the Double Cardan end out of the mud and water.
• 30 degree wide angle to prevent the propshaft binding up on long travel suspension.
• 40 degree wide angle on the Double Cardan end.
• Heavy Duty Round Flange Face (not the old square type), that bolts to gearbox and diff 79.4mm PCD.
• This version has the superior Italian Double Cardan end with slip joint built into the D/C end.
• Higher torque capacity than a standard Land Rover propshaft, using 60mm heavy duty high torque tube.
• Td5 Discovery 2 transfer box flange is not required to fit this one.
• Heavy duty cap greased 2020 series Universal Joints (30.2 x 81.8mm) with nylon thrust washers and metal/rubber seals, the nylon thrust washers also has a cross in them to allow grease to get to each cup when greasing them.
• Rilsan coated spline for smother operation and helps eliminate vibrations.
• Upgraded involute spline configuration with 18 splines that is also GREASEABLE which is a feature only found on our propshafts.
• Internally plug welded to hold grease in the slider.
• Double seal arrangement on the slip assembly, with 110mm of movement and full spline contact on the male and female slider to help with long travel suspension.
• Phased when required to reduce vibrations.
• All prop shafts come with a tube of k48 grease.

This fits straight onto a Defender style transfer box flange you will not require a Discovery 2 Transfer Box Flange to fit this one

Fitting advice :-
Please note these propshafts have heavy duty round flanges, when fitting make sure you clean up the diff and gearbox flange faces as you may have taken a square type flange off and the new round flange does not want to sit on top of dirt or rust.
The Slider goes to your transfer box flanges, for a Double Cardan prop the DC end goes to the front transfer box flange.
You must ensure all UJs and the slider are fully greased on fitment and are regularly greased during use.
We Grease all UJ’s and sliders here during final checks but sliders can not be filled with grease until a prop is fitted, you will need to fill the slider with grease.

This propshaft  has 3 fully greaseable UJs,  and the slider is also greaseable on these.

A NOTE FOR SWAYBAR/FRONT SHAFT RELATIONSHIPS:

When fitting a Ultra HD front propshaft to any Defender/Disco1 you will find that you will have the shaft rub on the swaybar on droop within normal driving conditions.

Also when fitting any shock beyond factory length you will also find on axle droop, your front drive shaft will come in contact with the swaybar.

Made from Aluminium - 25mm thick - our swaybar spacers are the solution!

IS YOUR FRONT PROPSHAFT HITTING YOUR SWAYBAR?

When fitting a Ultra HD front propshaft to any Defender/Disco1 you will find that you will have the shaft rub on the swaybar on droop within normal driving conditions.

Also when fitting any shock beyond factory length you will also find on axle droop, your front drive shaft will come in contact with the swaybar. 

Made from Aluminium - 25mm thick - these spacers are the solution!

Acid etched and chromate dipped before powdercoat for longevity - not like the powdercoated Terrafima gear out of the UK! 

Comes with fitting kit too ;)

• Drive: 1/2" square drive
• Size: 9/16" 6 point (Hexagon)
• Total length: 150mm
• Outside diameter: 20mm

Specialist socket for prop shaft fasteners on most Land Rovers.

The 9/16" socket end is a perfect hexagon with rounded tip profiles to ensure the whole turning power is transferred onto the flanks of the nuts instead of on the corners. 

The socket's slim wall construction and wine glass profile, coupled to an integral slimline extension means it fits perfectly between the UJ yokes and over the prop shaft nuts without fouling.

The 9/16" AF nuts are common to Series Land Rovers, Defenders (90 & 110 up to latest vehicles), Discoverys (up to and including Discovery 2) and Range Rovers (up to and including P38).

These 2020 MEGA propshafts are for those looking for our STRONGEST propshafts

These are our NEW Heavier Duty MEGA propshafts using larger 2020 Universal joints. They have a larger cap diameter compared to our smaller 1310 joints, the larger joints help handle higher torque loads.

Engines today can produce much greater power and torque, especially once tuned, with upgrades in Differential, Axle, Gearbox strengths and with large diameter aggressive tyres this is putting much more demand on your propshafts.
To better cope with this, we would recommend you go for our 2020 MEGA propshafts over our 1310 HD UNITS.

Our 2020 MEGA propshafts use Universal Joints which are 81.8mm x 30.2mm (a 1310 is 81.8mm x 27mm)

One advantage of a larger cap diameter means it has thicker trunnions which can cope with increased power and torque loads but with the joint still being 81.8mm across it remains compact.

The 2020 joints are very strong compact commercial joints.

Both joints are cap greasable which gives very easy access to get your grease gun onto the joint for greasing, you also have the choice of greasing via the centre lube in the middle of the UJ body.
If you are putting your vehicle through more extreme off-road use then there is the chance that you can knock the grease nipple off the cap. If this is a risk then you can remove the nipple in the cap and replace it with the plug we supply, you can then either grease through the centre lube or refit the cap nipple when you need to grease. Cap greased nipples must seal to hold the grease in the cap.

These propshafts are made to a very high standard, please don’t compare these to cheap import ones.

Fitting advice :-
Please note these propshafts have heavy-duty round flanges, when fitting make sure you clean up all flange faces as they should not sit on top of dirt or rust.
Brush grease onto flange faces this will help prevent rust.
The Slider goes to your transfer box flange, for a Double Cardan propshaft the DC end goes to the front transfer box flange.
You must ensure all UJs and the slider are fully greased on fitment and are regularly greased during use.
After greasing cap greased joints, you must make sure the grease nipple does not allow grease to leak back, they must seal after greasing. If you have dirt in there, they will not seal. If this is the case the grease nipple must be replaced or capped with our plug.
Always make sure your propshaft can still turn with your axle at full suspension drop out, long-travel suspension can allow the axle to drop down too far causing the joints to bind and break.

They feature

• 30 degree wide angle (2020 Series) to prevent the propshaft binding up on long-travel suspension.
• Higher torque capacity than a standard Land Rover propshaft using 63mm heavy duty tube.
• Heavy Duty Round Flange Face (not the old square type), that bolts to the gearbox and diff 79.4mm PCD.
• Higher torque capacity than a standard Land Rover propshaft.
• Heavy duty cap greased 2020 series Universal Joints(30.2 x 81.8mm) the caps have metal/rubber seals, there are also three slots machined into them to allow even distribution of grease to fill each cap when greasing.
• Rilsan coated spline for smoother operation and helps eliminate vibrations.
• Upgraded involute spline configuration with 18 splines that is also GREASEABLE which is a feature only found on our propshafts.
• Internally plug welded to hold grease in the slider.
• Double seal arrangement on the slip assembly, with 110mm of movement and full spline contact on the male and female slider to help with long-travel suspension.
• Phased when required to reduce vibrations.
• All prop shafts come with a tube of k48 grease.

These propshafts are made to a very high standard, please don’t compare these to cheap import ones.

Do I need a Wide Angle or a Double Cardan Propshaft :-
A Wide Angle Propshaft is mainly used on and off road when you have fitted longer travel suspension with more axle drop out and your original propshaft is binding on the joints, they can sometimes help with vibration problems, but if they can’t cure the vibration problems a Double Cardan may have to be used. The wide angle propshafts are easier and cheaper to repair than a Double Cardan.
A Double Cardan propshaft is mainly used on road to help prevent vibration problems when driving on road. They are also wide angle to cope with long travel suspension. That is the reason they are the most expensive Propshaft we have available. Propshafts can sometimes fail due to the angle they are running at, if this does happen to a Double Cardan, they are very difficult and expensive to repair.
Wide Angle and Double Cardan Propshafts on Land Rover vehicles will require regular maintenance and repair due to the angles they are used at, especially with a suspension lift. For example, every inch of lift will roughly add 3 degrees on the average front Propshaft angle.
To check your propshaft angles, you can download an angle app to your phone. Zero the device on your handbrake drum, transfer box or drive flange and measure your propshaft angle. Please be aware the steeper the angle the more wear and problems your propshaft will have.

Fitting advice:-
Please note these propshafts have heavy-duty round flanges, when fitting make sure you clean up all flange faces as they should not sit on top of dirt or rust.
Brush grease onto flange faces this will help prevent rust.
The Double Cardan end bolts onto the transfer box flange.
You must ensure all UJs and the slider are fully greased on fitment and are regularly greased during use.
After greasing cap greased joints, you must make sure the grease nipple does not allow grease to leak back, they must seal after greasing. If you have dirt in there, they will not seal. If this is the case the grease nipple must be replaced or capped with our plug.
Always make sure your propshaft can still turn with your axle at full suspension drop out, long-travel suspension can allow the axle to drop down too far causing the joints to bind and break.

This propshaft has 3 fully greaseable UJs, and the slider is also greaseable.

Why Fit a Double Cardan propshaft:-
A Double Cardan propshaft is used mainly to help reduce propshaft vibrations on lifted vehicles where running angles have become steeper.
The Double Cardan end is fitted to the gearbox as this is normally the steepest angle.
Although these propshafts are 30/40 degree wide angle, no propshaft should be run with a steeper angle of 5 degrees as this causes premature universal joint wear, especially when used on road as they overheat.
By fitting a Double Cardan propshaft you have 2 universal joints at the Double Cardan end which reduces the joint angle by 1/2 making them last longer compared to a single joint on a normal propshaft.
Between the 2 joints, there is a ball and cup that holds the 2 joints together, again with suspension lifts these can overheat and wear out quicker.

They feature:-

• Double Cardon propshafts are used to help reduce propshaft vibrations on lifted vehicles, especially after caster correction.
• Slip joint is at the Double Cardan end out of the mud and water.
• 30 degree wide angle to prevent the propshaft binding up on long-travel suspension.
• 40 degree wide angle on the Double Cardan end.
• Heavy Duty Round Flange Face (not the old square type), that bolts to the gearbox and diff 79.4mm PCD.
• This version has the superior Italian Double Cardon end with slip joint built into the D/C end (both these joints are Cap Greased)
• Higher torque capacity than a standard Land Rover propshaft, using 60mm heavy duty high torque tube.
• Td5 Discovery 2 transfer box flange is not required to fit this one.
• Heavy duty 1310 series Universal Joints (27mm x 81.8mm) with nylon thrust washers and metal/rubber seals, the nylon thrust washers also have a cross in them to allow grease to get to each cup when greasing them.
• Rilsan coated spline for smoother operation and helps eliminate vibrations.
• Upgraded involute spline configuration with 18 splines that is also GREASEABLE which is a feature only found on our propshafts.

THIS FITS STRAIGHT ONTO A LT95 FLANGE!!!

Fitting advice :-
Please note these propshafts have heavy duty round flanges, when fitting make sure you clean up the diff and gearbox flange faces as you may have taken a square type flange off and the new round flange does not want to sit on top of dirt or rust.
The Slider goes to your transfer box flanges, for a Double Cardan prop the DC end goes to the front transfer box flange.
You must ensure all UJs and the slider are fully greased on fitment and are regularly greased during use.
We Grease all UJ’s and sliders here during final checks but sliders can not be filled with grease until a prop is fitted, you will need to fill the slider with grease.

This propshaft  has 3 fully greaseable UJs,  and the slider is also greaseable on these.

WE RECOMMEND GREASING YOUR DRIVE SHAFT EVERY TIME YOU SERVICE YOUR VEHICLE!!!

Fits :- All of our 30 Degree 20.20 Jointed Wide Angle and Double Cardan MEGA Propshafts.

The Kit includes :-
1 x MEGA 2020 Cap Greased and Centre Lubed Universal Joint 81.8mm x 30.2mm.
1 x Bung and Washer (To use if removing the Cap Grease Nipple)

These joints measures 81.8mm x 30.2mm, (a 1310 is 81.8mm x 27mm) One of the things a larger cap diameter means is thicker trunnions which can cope with increased power and torque loads but with the joint still being 81.8mm across it remains compact.

Inside the caps as you can see in the picture there are 3 slots cut into each cap, these slots allow the grease to get to the 4 caps to allow even grease distribution, the caps are also sealed with NYLON / RUBBER SEALS to help stop mud and water getting into them, these joints also hold more grease to increase the joint life and should last for many years if they are greased regularly. The body of the joint is also centre lubed.

These joints are cap greasable which gives very easy access to get your grease gun on to the joint for greasing, you also have the choice of greasing via the centre lube in the middle of the UJ body. If you are putting your vehicle through more extreme off road use then there is the chance that you can knock the grease nipple off the cap, if this is a risk then you can remove the nipple in the cap and replace it with the plug  we supply, you can then either grease through the centre lube or refit the cap nipple when you need to grease.

Ensure your capped greased joint does not allow grease to leak back, they must seal after greasing. If you have dirt in there, they will not seal. If this is the case the grease nipple must be replaced or capped with our plug.

Fitting advice :-
If joints have thrust washers, make sure there is only one thrust washer in each cap, you do not want to double them up.
Always fill the caps with grease as this will help hold the needles in the cap on assembly.
Never use a socket to press the caps in as the socket is hollow this can cause the joint to push through the cap, you must use something flat.
If you can’t get the circlip in do not over press the cap as you may damage it, you may just need to tap the yoke apart to relieve the pressure caused by pressing in the caps.
You must ensure all UJs and the slider are fully greased on fitment and are regularly greased during use.
After greasing cap greased joints, you must make sure it does not allow grease to leak back, they must seal after greasing. If you have dirt in there, they will not seal. If this is the case the grease nipple must be replaced or capped with our plug.
Always make sure your propshaft can still turn with your axle at full suspension drop out, long-travel suspension can allow the axle to drop down too far causing the joints to bind and break.

On lifted vehicles the propshaft is always under more strain due to the angles they run at and greasing the joints is very important, especially after being in water and mud.

Please note :- These Universal Joints don’t fit standard Land Rover or 1310 wide angle props, they only fit our 2020 MEGA props.
