Range Rover (LH) V8-3.9L (1989)
Drive/Propeller Shaft: Service and Repair
Overhaul
NOTE:
Early Design
-
Rear drive shafts fitted to early models have a universal joint assembly with an internal splined bore which moves along the outside of the main
drive shaft spline.
Late Design
-
Later models have a re-designed rear drive shaft. The universal joint assembly has been modified to incorporate a splined shaft which moves
inside a hollow drive shaft, refer to the illustrations for identification as to which drive shaft is fitted to the vehicle.
-
The design change does not affect the overhaul of the yoke and spider assemblies.
DISASSEMBLE
