I have a 97 Disco, 100K miles, two-inch RTE lift, stock front/rear bumpers, TTs front/rear.
The problem is my chronic destruction of U-joints.
Front DS, around 40K, bye-bye. Then at 85K, bye-bye.
Rear DS, around 50K, bye-bye. Now at 100k, bye-bye.
So, my driveline geometry with only a 2-inch lift (stock bumpers) should not make be eat U-joints, right?
Could it be the slop in the T-case that is eating these things up? Yes, there is slop and she wines like a low-geared pig.
Maybe signs of Torque converter issues? She does not shift hard at all. I did the filter around 35K, and she gets annual synthetic changes in the tranny.
Heck, maybe with the slop only Dana Spicers can survive? BTW, Spicers are going on the rear today.
Man, I hate (cringe) putting that rig into drive with just one drive-shaft in, WHAM! Yea, idle is around 740 RPM.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
