Land Rover Heavy-Duty Front Double Cardan Propshaft

Required: front swaybar spacers

If you retain the front swaybar, you must run either our 37mm Front Swaybar Spacer Kit (2 Position) or our 55mm Front Swaybar Spacers with this shaft. Choose the kit to suit your suspension and clearance requirements; you do not need both.

• 37mm, 2 position: lowers the front swaybar 37mm, with mounting positions that move the rear bush mount back 15mm or 30mm to help with link clearance.
• 55mm: lowers the front swaybar directly down 55mm. Our listing specifies this option for a Mega HD shaft with a 2-inch lift and shocks longer than the factory 550mm open length.

Check clearance throughout suspension travel. If you are unsure which kit suits your setup, send us your vehicle, lift and shock open length before ordering.

MEGA EXTREME Wide Angle HD | Defender & Discovery 1

Designed for Land Rover vehicles requiring a heavy-duty front propshaft, particularly those with modified suspension geometry or increased axle articulation.

These propshafts feature a heavy-duty double cardan assembly, wide-angle universal joints and a greaseable slip joint arrangement.

Key features

• 40° wide-angle double cardan end
• 30° wide-angle opposite joint
• Heavy-duty 60mm torque tube
• Greaseable 2020-series universal joints
• Rilsan-coated 18-spline slip assembly
• 110mm slip movement
• Heavy-duty round flange configuration

Vehicle compatibility

Select the appropriate variant for your Defender Puma, TD5, 300Tdi, 200Tdi or Discovery 1.

Important fitting information

These heavy-duty shafts require suitable clearance throughout the suspension's operating range. Front swaybar clearance must be checked, particularly on lifted vehicles or those fitted with extended-travel shocks.

Check flange compatibility, suspension clearance and lubrication requirements before installation.

Before you order

Confirm your vehicle and engine variant, front flange arrangement and suspension setup. If your vehicle has an engine or gearbox conversion, tell us before ordering rather than choosing by the original vehicle badge alone. We can confirm whether measurements are needed and how to take them.

Ask KINGPIN to check your propshaft application. Include your model, engine, gearbox, suspension lift and any existing driveline modifications.

Fitting hardware and tools

If you need replacement fasteners, see the propshaft nut and bolt kits and select the FRONT option for this shaft. Check what you already have and what is supplied with your order before adding extra hardware.

The Land Rover propshaft nut tool is designed for access to 9/16-inch propshaft nuts. Confirm your fastener size before ordering.

For other vehicles or rear-shaft applications, browse the full propshaft range.

• 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.

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.
