Frequently asked questions

What is the FRC2980 rear prop shaft used for?

The FRC2980 rear prop shaft transmits drive from the transfer gearbox rear output to the rear axle differential pinion flange on the V8 petrol Defender 110. It runs on a universal joint at each end that lets the shaft cope with axle articulation and suspension movement.

Which Defender does the FRC2980 rear prop shaft fit?

The FRC2980 fits the V8 petrol Defender 110 up to VIN AA252442. Confirm it against your chassis number before ordering, as vehicles after that VIN break use a different rear prop shaft. It measures around 107cm.

What universal joint does this prop shaft use?

The FRC2980 uses universal joint RTC3346, an 82mm UJ, at each end of the shaft. The universal joints are the usual wear points and can be replaced on their own when they develop play, rather than renewing the whole shaft.

What are the signs the rear prop shaft needs attention?

Typically a clunk on drive take-up, vibration through the floor at speed, or a knock that rises with road speed. Worn universal joints are usually the cause on the Defender 110 driveline and show up as play when you twist the shaft by hand.
