It also steepens the angle of the rear driveshaft, and because the short wheelbase leaves room for only a short rear shaft, that angle climbs quickly as the Rover goes up. The usual symptoms are vibration that builds with speed, driveline clunk, and faster universal joint wear. The Tom Wood's TWDC-D90R rear double cardan driveshaft is built for lifted Defender 90s, giving you a smoother, stronger link between the transfer case and the rear differential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA double cardan shaft pairs two universal joints at one end, joined by a centering yoke with a greaseable center ball. Splitting the operating angle between two joints lets each one work through a gentler angle than a single joint could manage. Tom Wood's generally recommends staying with a conventional two joint shaft on a Rover with no lift, and moving to a double cardan design as lift height approaches 76mm (3 in). On rear installations, getting the smoothest possible operation may also require adjusting the rear pinion angle to suit the new shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEvery Tom Wood's Land Rover shaft uses Gold Seal 1310 series universal joints. The 1310 series is the most widely used universal joint in the world, found in countless Ford, GM, Jeep, and Dodge applications, and it is very close in size and strength to the factory Land Rover universal joint. If a joint ever needs replacing, you can find one at nearly any driveline shop or parts counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number: TWDC-D90R\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree shipping to the lower 48!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Each shaft is made to order, so a flange to flange measurement is required with every order.
