Been having a look around for a front shaft as my double CV one does not like the lift I have on it now.

2 options:

source the axle & TC yokes myself, then have a quote of £230+vat for a DC/UK propshaft sourced fairly local to me. so £350ish all told

buy the job lot from the US at $440 plus shipping duty etc, I reckon about £400-450 all in

Would prefer the first option TBH, its easy to go up the road if the prop goes bad, any ideas where to source axle/TC yokes from?

[scrw]

or....

Have a chat with Lighthouse, the whole lot came as a service item to upgrade the CV shafts, waiting for a call back with the price



PARTS REQUIRED:
1 05019624AA Yoke, front axle pinion (FBI 186 / Mdl 30)
1 05017755AA Nut, pinion gear
2 J3240553 Strap, front pinion yoke to single cardan universal joint

What did the wheel of mis-fortune at lighthouse come up with, my guess is £675 

[scrw]

still waiting. Expect I will source the prop second hand but get all the other bits from lighthouse, but happy to pay upto £300 so will see, you never know 

[scrw]

£724 

[scrw]

Right, the yokes are £200, inc the fittings. Quick call to GT 4x4 for a prop methinks

£724 

not including delivery

[gazjeep]

Could be the exchange rate not helping but Lighties aint as cheap as they used to be  

'Kin close wasn't I with £675, forgot you needed the bottom slip knockerlater thingy on your model year 

[scrw]

WTF are you talking about?

[scrw]

Seems v8 UJ props are rarer that Stew paying for the taxi & buying the first pint, may have to buy new 

[gazjeep]

WTF are you talking about?

You know, the thing wot goes on the doings that turns the doodad 

Am I going to quickly for you ? Stew will explain later 

[scrw]

Ahh, I see, Stew has been training you, it all makes sence now 

[gazjeep]

Don't import from the US it's 4.5% added to the cost of pats & shipping plus VAT what a rip off

[Dave69]

for technical answer just wait for Bulldog to start talking spring bits and black wubber wings

Given the quotes I am getting in the UK for the parts getting from the UK is going to be the cheapest option, doesn't seem to be any second hand driveshafts around at the mo
