So my 2003 HZJ78 Troopy is wearing out u-joints in the front prop shaft in the space of months. Vibration, joint failure, probably caused by the TerrainTamer suspension's lift (was supposedly 50mm but wound up looking higher).
A fellow with a lot of experience in LC's down here says the solution is to switch out my oem prop shaft with one from an 80 series LC. The theory is that the double cardan prop from the 80 will increase the flexibility of the system.
Anyone done this? Heard of it?
Any advice is much appreciated.
