The pcd can be worked out as length C divided by 0.707
My D reg SJ413 ,The only info I have is
A= 8mm
C= 56mm
PCD= 79.2mm
Universal joint size =
Well it's a start

Re: Propshaft info
Are all the UJ's interchangeable or is it best the swap the whole shaft? I have noise coming from the front & middle one.
Re: Propshaft info
Can the shaft from the gearbox to the t box be removed just like that, or do I have to line it up as it is in the gearbox when I put it back? I was thinking the shaft will be balanced when of the gearbox, but am not sure
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out
Re: Propshaft info
Yeah just pull it out and put it back wherever it slots back in

Re: Propshaft info
Suprisingly my Samurai passed it's MOT the other day with only one advisory, the yoke on the rear propshaft is worn. I took the 'pivot' off and measured it with a micrometer and it was reasonably round (a lot closer to round than the yoke!) So i've decided to replace it.
I was wondering if it was possible to buy new propshafts? I'm not a fan of replacing worn parts with slightly less worn parts, it defeats the point.
Thanks

There's three ways of doing things,
1) The Right Way,
2) The Wrong Way
3) My Way.
2 & 3 are usually the same.

Re: Propshaft info
Can you explain exactly what parts you are measuring im not sure which exact bit you mean by the 'pivot'? Is it the outside diameter of the bearing cap that you are measuring and the internal diameter of the yoke? The UJ bearing caps should not move within the yokes and be a tight fit so there shouldn't really be anyway that the yokes can wear? It's usually just the universal joint that develops play and need replacing.
You probably can get a new prop from Suzuki but be ready for a shock when they tell you the price.

Re: Propshaft info
This is the bit that i mean. It isn't a tight fit at all.
