Brand Hardy Spicer

Universal Joint for the propeller shaft, measuring 75 mm across the bearing caps with a 27 mm cap diameter. Sealed type, supplied without a grease nipple.

The universal joint is the cross-and-bearing assembly carried in the yoke at each end of a propshaft. It transmits drive between the transfer box output flange and the axle input flange while accommodating the continually changing shaft angle as the suspension articulates. It consists of a hardened cross running in four needle-roller bearing cups, retained in the yoke by circlips. Used on both front and rear propshafts.

The sealed construction has no provision for periodic greasing: the joint is replaced rather than re-lubricated once the bearings develop play. Measure the existing joint across the bearing caps before ordering, as the 82 mm joint is visually similar but is not interchangeable.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC3458GKN universal joint?

The RTC3458GKN is a propshaft universal joint, the cross-and-bearing assembly carried in the yoke at each end of a propshaft. It transmits drive between the transfer box output flange and the axle input flange while allowing for suspension movement and driveline angle changes.

What does the sealed, no-greaser design mean?

The sealed design means the RTC3458GKN is packed with grease and has no grease nipple, so it cannot be re-greased in service. It is a fit-and-forget joint, replaced as a unit when it wears rather than maintained, which suits the sealed Hardy Spicer type.

What are the signs a propshaft UJ needs replacing?

A worn propshaft universal joint typically shows as a clunk on taking up drive, a vibration that rises with speed, or a squeak from the driveline. Play felt when twisting the propshaft by hand confirms wear. A failed UJ can let the propshaft drop, so it is renewed promptly.

Which models and propshaft positions does the RTC3458GKN fit?

The RTC3458GKN fits the Defender (1987-2006) front and rear propshaft, the Defender 2007-2016 rear propshaft (from VIN 7A000001), the Discovery 1 front propshaft (chassis FA393361 to WA799999) and Range Rover Classic front and rear positions. Check your model, position and VIN before ordering.
