N/S/F drive shaft

Hi
I have got an issue with my FF, In Dec my FF started to throw the n/s/f drive shaft out.
So i got her home the pushed the shaft back in and all good for a few days then boom out again.
So got a new shaft with a new snap ring fitted it and all good for a full week, then Sunday it went again.
I have had a look at replacing the front diff but its a big job on the road out side the house.

So my question is do any of you have any reconditions where i can get it fitted and do you think i am going down the right path?

All the best and thanks in advance

by the way i am in Yate Bristol. L322 TDV8 2011 Autobiography

If you are saying the driveshaft is coming out of the front diff I would think that would only be possible if one of the control arms were broken? But then the car would be undriveable. Kevin

Hi Epson Green

like you say about the control arms, yeah all good there.
Around two years ago the car did had the diff replaced by the garage i brought the car from, Diff whining.
When i fitted the new drive shaft i had a look at the 4 bolts that hold the diff to the sump, and found that the bolts had come lose. Ok they are only done up to 50nm then 90* but i thought "yes that's the problem". So done them up and put the new shaft in, but like a say a week later out it came.
So my last thought is there is something in side the diff that has worn and moving around, so i am down to a diff change.

The strange thing is those the diff on the car did not make any noise before it started pushing its drive shafts out. Still booked into a garage Wednesday 6/3/24.

Many thanks L322 TDV8 2011 Autobiography

Its been known that some pattern part ds are slightly smaller than the original ones fitted by land rover, bet that's the problem here.
