Heavy Duty Front CV Joint and Half Shaft Kit by Ashcroft Transmission – For Discovery 2

Fits the following vehicles
Discovery 2
As the Discovery 2 has a ‘open knuckle’ type front axle a much larger diameter CV joint can be fitted, this increased diameter not only allows a much thicker wall of the CV bell but also allows the use of bigger balls which reduce stresses and also allows an increase of the half-shaft from the small stock 32 spline to the much larger 24 spline, same as the 24 spline at the diff end. Proven materials, with 4340 alloy steel for the shaft and CV outer and 300M for the cage and inner.
When fitting these shafts you will have to swap the dust covers off the old shafts and refit to the new shafts with Loctite. From testing on a hydraulic test rig the stock CV’s fail at 3,700 ft/lbs, when testing the heavy duty ones the shaft failed before the CV at 7,460 ft/lbs – over twice as strong.
The kit consists of –
2 x front shafts
2 x CV’s
2 x CV boots
4 x boot clips
2 x shaft clips
