If you remember, out of nowhere, I got a very bad vibe while driving down I-40. Anyway, they replaced my front drive with a new, complete assy. Also replaced was the •••••• output seal, and the t-case input / ouput seal. The whole thing was covered under warranty. The original shaft lasted 44K miles, so hopefully I'll get the same amount on this one.

Is that normal these days?   Ken Doss (1disturbedtruck) New Member Username: 1disturbedtruck Post Number: 6 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 08:40 pm:    Land Rover Jax has always been realy good about work under warrenty, even on trucks with reasonable mods. ken   Paul D.

Maybe we need a database of dealership kindness, you know whether they are mod-friendly or not, for each state. Coz I hate to swap my springs back to the originals just to get a replacement drive shaft if it ever goes.   Paul D.

They'll point you in the right direction.   Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) Senior Member Username: Deanbrown3d Post Number: 776 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Monday, September 01, 2003 - 07:56 pm:    Good idea.
