2000 Land Rover Discovery Drive and Prop Shaft Assemblies

Each GKN Driveline premium prop-shaft is unique in its use, tailored, tuned and harmonized to match the precise demands of its application. Prop-shafts consist of shafts, joints and bearing, and transmit torque between gearbox and axle in rear-wheel drive vehicles and from the transfer box to the front and rear axles in all-wheel drive vehicles. Each prop-shaft – a unique, engineered product Strength, stiffness, precision balance and low mass are the essential properties of prop-shafts in ensuring durability and minimum levels of Noise Vibration Harshness (NVH). Shaft joints and couplings also have to accommodate severe service loads, high angles and apparent changes in path length, due to relative displacement between axles and the gearbox in passenger cars, and the high shock loads commonplace in all-terrain vehicles. The crash-optimized shaft An innovation in vehicle safety engineering, the crash optimized shaft provides predictable energy absorption when required, or can be tuned to a required combination of load and displacement. For example, the tube can be designed to absorb a specific amount of impact load before collapsing to a predetermined length. Shafts can be produced in aluminum and composite fibre to provide energy absorbing characteristics, and CV joints designed with specific energy absorption features. GKN Driveline’s unique capability and innovative lead in crash optimized shafts ensures a safer and more comfortable driving experience

Product Features:

• Weight reduction through optimized material and joint selection
• NVH analysis and tuning
• Optimized high speed durability
• Torsional stiffness
• Crash compliance

The original drive shafts on specific vehicles have permanently staked universal joints that make servicing difficult. This Dorman OE FIX front drive shaft makes the U-joints serviceable for simpler maintenance.

Product Features:

• Ready to install – this drive shaft is shipped pre-assembled and factory balanced to ensure immediate smooth operation
• Simplifies repair – this replacement makes the U-joints serviceable for simpler maintenance
• All-new manufacturing – made 100% new, not remanufactured, so there’s no core charge or return hassle
• Quality engineering – designed in the United States and backed by decades of automotive aftermarket experience

CARDONE Remanufactured Prop Shafts are engineered using the most stringent quality processes to deliver smooth, consistent performance in any driving condition. Original designs are scrutinized for potential improvement, and where applicable, design upgrades are implemented to produce a more durable part than the original. All critical components are tested to ensure proper function. Additionally, all CARDONE Prop Shafts are 100 percent dynamically balanced, resulting in vibration-free performance at all speeds.

Product Features:

• Built to match O.E. form, fit and function.
• 100 percent NEW universal joints are installed to ensure proper fit and optimal performance.
• All slip yokes are lubricated to prevent premature wear.
• Units are 100 percent dynamically balanced at 3200 RPMs for vibration-free operation and increased joint life.
