Propshaft Wear:-
Propshaft universal joint wear and vibration is a problem on Land
Rover vehicles, on lifted vehicles, this can be more of a problem as it
steepens propshaft Universal Joint working angles to the point where
they overheat and vibration problems can become an issue. Caster
Correction also steepens UJ working angles so can cause more vibration
and overheating problems, even lowered Defenders can suffer from
vibration issues.
No prop shaft should be run for long periods with a steeper running angle of more than 5 degrees,
anything above this angle used for long journeys will cause the UJs to
overheat, the grease will dry up and cause premature wear. This is
always a problem with Land Rovers. For example, if you are driving at
50mph at 2000RPM the propshaft is revolving 2000 times every 1 minute,
the steeper the angle the faster the needles are revolving in the caps,
this is why they overheat, on a Double Cardan at these speeds the ball
in-between the 2 joints is also working hard and getting hot,
eventually, it will cause the rubber boot over the ball to fail.
Please note that propshaft UJ`s on lifted vehicles are under more strain and require REGULAR GREASING to help prolong their life.
Ensure your capped greased joint does not allow grease to leak back
from the grease nipple 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.
