Jim F Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Hi, my axle splines are worn and I'm wondering if the standard outer axle shaft assemblies sold by Moss, (and, I suspect, a few others), is a good product. They sell for around 130 UK Pounds. Is anyone willing to share their experience with the product? And who they are made by? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jamesStag Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Hi, Just as an alternative, I fitted the TR shop standard replacement shafts (these are just the 'dog-bones' and need new UJ's to be fitted at the same time). They are good value at £95 and I've no complaints so far. Just you need to be familiar fitting UJ's and ideally need a press for this (or a nice heavy duty and square vice) Cheers, J.

Nigel A Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Proptech fit all the uj's whilst you wait Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesStag Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Hi Nigel, Fair comment, make its easy. Out of interest what do proptech charge? They are too far away from me, our local people are H J Chard in Bristol (0117 977 7681) and did a fine job refurb and balancing my main propshaft to the diff. However they were too expensive for the diff to wheel drive shafts, I think they wanted over £175 for both inc UJ's which is why I bought the TR shop ones. Cheers, J.

Skidmark Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 If you swop the driveshafts over,from one side to the other,then they will be driving on unworn sides of the splines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Hi SkidMark, the contact areas will indeed not be worn but the splines and slots will still be loose due to the wear in the original position. So no improvement. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

peejay4A Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 You won't go wrong with Proptech both on quality and price. Rest assured. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Proptech ones are also Rislan coated so dont lock up as easy as originals too. Best replacements by far. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steves_TR6 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Proptech are indeed very helpful and good value, probably the best option for standard shafts. An alternative is CV shafts, i have the CDD ones and am pleased with them after about 8000 miles of 'fun' driving. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
