Universal Joint is a cross-type (spider) joint fitted within the propshaft assembly, transmitting rotational drive between opposing yokes while accommodating the changing angle between them.

It operates within the driveline, linking the gearbox or transfer box output to the axle input as the suspension articulates and the shaft angle varies under load.

The joint measures 75mm across the yoke (cap to cap) with 27mm bearing caps. It is retained in the yokes by circlips, which are included.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC3291 universal joint and what does it do?
The RTC3291 is a cross-type (spider) universal joint fitted within the Land Rover propshaft. It transmits rotational drive between the yokes while allowing the shaft angle to change as the suspension articulates, linking the gearbox or transfer box output to the axle. It measures 75mm cap-to-cap and comes with retaining circlips.
What are the signs a propshaft universal joint needs replacing?
A worn propshaft universal joint typically causes a clunk on take-up, a vibration at speed, or a squeak that rises with road speed. The needle bearings in the cross wear or dry out, often from age or lost grease. Left too long, the joint can fail completely and drop the propshaft.
Which Land Rovers does the RTC3291 universal joint fit?
The RTC3291 75mm cap-to-cap joint fits Land Rover Series 1, 2, 2A and 3, Defender 1987-2016 (110 and 130 on 2007-2016), Discovery 1, and Range Rover Classic. On Td5 Defenders it fits up to chassis 1A612404, so check your VIN against that break.
How is the RTC3291 universal joint fitted?
The RTC3291 is retained in the propshaft yokes by circlips, which are included. Fitting typically means pressing the old joint out and the new one in, usually with a vice or bearing press and sockets. It's a doable home job, but the caps must go in square to avoid nipping the needle rollers.
