Tom Wood's TWDC-RRCF Front Double Cardan Shaft RR Classic

Once a Range Rover Classic is lifted, the front driveshaft has to run at a steeper angle than the factory design intended. The result is often vibration that builds with speed, a clunk through the driveline, and faster wear on the universal joints. The Tom Wood's TWDC-RRCF front double cardan driveshaft is built for lifted Classics, giving your Rover a smoother, stronger connection between the transfer case and the front differential.

A 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 on its own. 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). For builds that go well beyond that, Tom Wood's also offers a multiple double cardan shaft with a double cardan at each end.

Every 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.

The shaft bolts to the factory four bolt transfer case and front differential flanges. Because it runs close to exhaust heat, regular greasing of the center ball and joints is recommended for a long service life.

[FAQ]
Will this driveshaft fit my Range Rover Classic?

The TWDC-RRCF is built for the front driveline of the Range Rover Classic (1987 to 1995), including the 3.5, 3.9, and 4.2 liter Rover V8 models. It bolts to the factory four bolt transfer case and front differential flanges.

Do I need a double cardan shaft if my Rover is lifted?

If your Rover has no lift, a conventional two joint shaft is usually the best choice. As lift height approaches 76mm (3 in), the steeper driveline angle makes a double cardan design the better option for reducing vibration and joint wear.
