Front Drive Shaft Update

it's a cock ring.

No, too small

So if you did a DC and Ujoint, the damper goes on the ujoint side? which would be the diff. even if it worked, (doubt it), I dont see that as a solution.

So whete are we thinking to mount them on the redesigned Ineos propshaft? Seems like a complicated solution to a secondary problem to the primary problem
I do know about propshaft dampers and yes they do flex with age! - replaced them on two 60s Benzes in my stable, and the old Disco.

No, I would not used a prop dampener unless I ran out of options. And I have many options

This funky wheel looking thing is the damper fitted to the Disco II. It's not in line with the drive shaft. And below shows a similar one on an axle near the pinion. This type I would use if viable, but I lack the ability to tune the mass properly. Maybe there is not that much to it, but this exceeds my field of expertise to be sure.

I removed that hefty lump on my D1 and it made absolutely no difference.

So part 35 is?

Either that, or just an elastic mount (vibration isolator). That's what I saw in the cars with split driveshafts I dealt with.

That's exactly what it was! Still have those on my Classics, had those on D1s as well.
As Tazzieman said, I took it off my Disco 1 trail truck, and it made zero difference - but that Disco never had any driveline vibrations to begin with.
