No you didn't.

 

Shouldn't be bad once you get the u-joints out. Just a straight swap out. I could be wrong though

Edit: I'm caught up on all the other posts now, carry on...

 

They also say that their WS transmission fluid is a lifetime fluid. Toyota says a lot and only replaces full assemblies like an entire driveshaft when all you need is a u-joint.

 

Look if you are going to have that kind of attitude and not believe what is put out there then that is fine but don't come asking for help then when you get it don't believe it. Look I have pointed you in some directions so has Blkvoodoo you can take what we have posted or not. If you want help be gracious about it.

 

Amen!!! A lot of manufacturers do that hence why Dorman and other aftermarket parts companies are in business they make things the manufacturers aren't willing to sell individually and only as a complete unit, or have stopped selling because of the age.

 

Stop working so much and let's get your brakes done.

 

I get that. I was just explaining why it is not a part you can just go buy over the counter at AutoZone or Advance.

 

but I'm working now! Gotta order a mess of parts between today and Friday so I can start everything

 

Gotta get it done before Saturday so we can go to Gulches

 

No but if you know how to find the part #s and can give them to the pimple faced kid working the counter they can order your parts!

 

What all do you need and are doing?

 

Radio shack, auto parts stores, hardware stores, etc. I walk in with a part number and if they want to look it up they can after they give me the part. Hell there are parts on my truck that "don't fit" on my truck same goes with the Rover.

 

Back when I worked for Advance, I remember seeing this option of steel vs aluminum drive shaft with steel or aluminum yoke.. so stupid.
Just as bad as the mud truck guys putting chevy axles under a ford. Sitting on the floor for 45minuts looking through every box...

Bring your old joints IN! Match them up right there at the counter!!!!

 

That meme is perfect!
I have old parts books around somewhere from MOOG and the like that I use to look pats up on the awesome thing about those is they give you all the dimensions you need so if something from another car can work you are golden. It just take some good ol ingenuity and forethought.

 

Sorry, but pretty much everything you said was incorrect.

You stated the double cardan u-joints were likely the same as the other u-joints (they're not) & that they can be bought at any local parts store (they can't) & that Moog makes the ball & socket (they don't).

Neapco is the only known manufacturer that sells the correct size ball & socket.

Rockford is the only known manufacturer that sells the correct size u-joint* (outside spring clip style).*

*If your double cardan came with the inside c clip style u-joint there are replacements made by Rockford, Precision, Spicer & Matsuba.

 

You better pull a genie out of a bottle for me then

 

What you brake now??

 

Finding the "Canister Vent Solenoid" I have on the Rover was a bear.. Land Rover wants $600 for it. A Chevy one has no cross reference part number to Rover looked and is exactly the same works for $11.

 

Lbj, plugs and wires, front rotors and pads, rear shoes, oil change, filters, PS flush. I think that's it for now...
