Rutty Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Hi does anyone know if the UJ'S on the prop shaft the same as on the drive shafts. It's for a Mk1 2L Vitesse. Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky_spit Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Hi Mark - the driveshaft UJs are certainly the same as on a Mk3 Spitfire propshaft, so I would guess that they are all the same across the small chassis cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutty Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 Thanks Mike I thought they where. A few laps of Snetterton was to much for them. Luckily not spinning in the yokes so no damage done. Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glang Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Quality and durability of our u/js (yes only one type for all uses on all small chassis triumphs) seems to vary widely with GKN 100000G uprated Freelander items being the most highly regarded.

The uprated Land Rover U/Js have longer roller bearings to spread the load and metal bearing caps, well worth the extra cost. I obtained from www.jgs4X4.co.uk Part no. TVC 100010G but these were the larger GKN 1300 series (27 x75mm) for the TR4A. Tim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glang Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 yes its easy to confuse the two part numbers and also other manufacturers use the same number. It gets complicated because genuine Land Rover items might be the same but safest is a UJ in its GKN box with a G at the end of the part number...

yorkshire_spam Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) I tend to use LRDirect for them, it allows you to choose which maker you want. https://www.lrdirect.com/TVF100000-Universal-Joint/?keep_https=yes Edited May 24, 2021 by yorkshire_spam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glang Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I wonder what the different part number endings mean? Certainly a very good price for 3 of what appear to be real GKN TVF100000G joints... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chap at the prop balancing place was impressed, he recognised them immediately and had a moan about how many people wanted the cheap UJs fitted. (I had a vain hope changing the UJs wouldn't put the prop out of balance, but it did a little. Odd, on my toledo changing UJs was fine, no vibration at all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glang Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Your right, what a con as theres no mention of each and you have to buy a minimum of 3, cheeky sods! I wont be using them and anyway find standard GKN or Hardy Spicer units good enough for my requirements... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
