Velocita Rosso Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 ...at the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Makes no difference. I think even the workshoo manual shows them fitted both ways round! And I have seen roughly equal numbers front and rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsbody47uk Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 My manual says to the rear, but like Clive, I've seen them fitted either way round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTRoger Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Collected my now balanced propshaft from the workshop today and asked the mechanic which way round it should be fitted. He told me the splined end should be fitted at the highest mounting point which normally is the gearbox. So fitted it that way, although it was the other way round when I took it off.

Roger.....who do you believe, ....a young Nederlander mechanic or an old Triumph owner/driver, staring at the original workshop manual ,showing the slider at the rear?......careful how you answer....or you will never drive my car again(with a slider at the rear) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTRoger Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yeah I know your car does slide a bit at the rear.... Maybe you sort out your propshaft????????????????????????? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTeesside Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I've heard some people with vibration issues, even after balancing, have corrected it by putting the splined part towards the gearbox side. But except for that the "correct" way is the splined part to the diff side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
