Front drive shaft - Land Rovers Only

Quick question is the D1 front driveshaft interchangable with D2's? Thanks... I have a 2000 D2.

No, it won't switch over, why, what is wrong with your D2's shaft, did you break your constant velocity joint?

Man - you will want a driveshaft with SERVICEABLE (greaseable) U-joints. The heat of the cats KILLS the grease in the factory joints and that can lead to a catastrophic failure - the end result is the tearing out of your transfer-case / transmission etc.

Great Basin Rovers sell front shafts - freshly rebuilt with the serviceable joints. If you have any questions, Bill can help you out.

Don't buy a new driveshaft, have yours rebuilt at a driveline shop or rebuild it yourself with serviceable u-joints. D1 shaft? Why take a step backwards?
