Propshaft/diff bearing

stux99 · 22nd February 2012, 06:06

Anyone help? I need to replace damaged bearing between the diff and the rearend of propshaft (dont ask) Appreciate any advice, I have tried the usual suspects

I am aware that Rimmers etc only list it as part of the propshaft assy itself and at a whopping £800+
The output bearings which appear identical are in fact a few mm larger

Do you mean the rear U/J or am I getting the wrong end of the stick?

Do you have the name of the manufacturer or part number on the bearing ??

There are lots of bearing suppliers who would sell you one bearing.

Would be a tapered roller bearing I guess.

It is made by GKN and is at diff end of prop shaft. Same as output joint but a little smaller. Have a few irons in the fire just now. Fingers crossed
This output side

HiSteve, yes GKN are on the case, however Brian @ Dreadnought has come to the rescue again

All sorted, FTR it is a CV joint and has been rebuilt and is now working properly. Bit of a mare, but worth in the end.
