In the tech section on this it mentions a required spacer that goes onto the pinion before the new 4 bolt flange. With this shaft and flange, will I need a spacer?   Alex Cabrera (Alexcabrera) Member Username: Alexcabrera Post Number: 149 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Wednesday, October 01, 2003 - 06:17 pm:    Yes you will.... Its because the new 4 bolt flange is too short where it fits into the pinion housing. Maybe somebody else can explain in more details?   Jose A Cabrera (Jcabrera) Member Username: Jcabrera Post Number: 149 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Wednesday, October 01, 2003 - 07:11 pm:    Shawn, I have a 96 Disco also. I purchased an used, early RR rear drive shaft ($120).   Shawn McKenzie (Shawn) Member Username: Shawn Post Number: 127 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 06:16 pm:    Thanks guys, I discovered the 2001 had a rotoflex too! (crap!) Does anyone know what model years of RR rear drive shafts I can use? Thanks again for the info, I'd hate to screw up my ring and pinion.

Staying up wondering what model year ranges of RR rear drive shaft will work on my D1. ;-)
