Damn, I forgot to take a pic earlier today, but I noticed today when I was repainting the rusty undercarriege flat black (damn you Ibjettin, got me on a painting tangent now that I see yours)
I noticed the rubber disc that bolts from the rear differential to the driveshaft, has stress cracks on it.

Anyone know what it is (como se llama?:dunno: ) from my decription, and how hard it is to replace?
It looks like I can take it off myself. Just looks like it unbolts to get it off.
Anyone have any experience with taking this hockey puck of a disc off? :dunno:
:drink1:

That, my friend, is called a rubber coupling. Stress cracks? They all have them. How long will it last before it goes out? Oh, about 2 hours to 2 years. Replacing it? Anywhere from a 30 minute job to a 5 hour job, depending on how tuff the bolts are. There was recently a good thread on dweeb regarding this little bastards. Do a dweeb search on rubber couplings and it should come up.

In the TV series OZ two guys with life sentences played poker, the one guy lost, and the other guy said
"OK you owe me:
$150 000
75 naked teen aged girls
31 cars
234 Assult rifles
and a big Mac"

Si chiama "il rotoflex" o se llama "el manchon".

You can replace it with a u-joint driveshaft from a 91 RR (along with the flange and spacer). No need to spend $399 for a conversion kit. They only last a few years if you have a lift on your Disco.
