Wanted 3500 auto prop shaft

[zebedee37]

I need a good condition 3500 auto prop shaft - the one I have on the car vibrates terribly at speed.

Ideas on where I can get one? ( postage would be to Belgium!!)

Thanks

I assume that you've checked that it is in the correct alignment?

 

[zebedee37]

I didn't realise the alignment could be adjusted?

I'll have another look underneath at the weekend

I presume you have checked all the UJ's on it??? And the drive shaft UJ's!!
Have you had it off recently,?"the prop" or has it just started vibrating?
Check all bolts are tight,also check your drive shaft to axle bolts are tight and the locktabs are in place!
How near are you to KRAAINEM??
PM ME!!!

Hi Pilkie

Have sent a pm

It was a really bad thunking from 100kms upwards. I changed the gearbox mountings (they were shot) and that improved things - thunking has gone - but the vibration is still there.

Check engine mounts havent worked loose and shifted the engine out of line due to the g/box mount thunking!,also check the rear extension housing vibration damper is not loose worn!!!!
That also could have easily knocked a UJ out, check them all and also the prop and drive shaft securing bolts are tight!

Do everything that Pilkie has advised first - if you still need an auto prop after that I have a good spare here in Berlin, probably cheaper to post here on mainland Europe than it would be from the UK.
