diff/prop flexible coupling where from?

[mellonman]

my rubber coupling is looking abit worse for where lots of cracks and splits it looks like its gonna rip apart soon, what do you guys do with replacing them is there a uprated one? or is stock best even with a single?

 

do you know the part i mean?

anyone

Did you do a search? There's quite a bit on it. Here's a thread that says JamieP broke 2 of them, so maybe ask him or look through his posts on the subject; http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?168981-propshaft-doughnut&highlight=prop+doughnut

Also interested in this, any pics of the said item? I'm getting a slight vibration at 70mph and think this might be causing it, ive tried everything else!

Would it be retarded to suggest Toyota?

I might have one, will have a look the weekend, what do they cost new?

A lot of other cars run a similar type part that is available in an uprated urethane material, maybe worth contacting someone who sells these and give them measurements and see if it matches a BMW or ford etc uprated part, either that or get a one piece prop, Mark Newmans was not too expensive.

[JamieP]

what are you using now if you dont mind me asking?

 

I'm on the stock prop and donut at present, my DSS setup is being upgraded with a billet spline.

[mellonman]

what happened to my reply?

 

they are new from MrT i was suprised how much a rubber cost

 

37511-30020

£240

 

if your on stock then i take there is no need to upgrade at my level

 

let me know if you have one and want to sell it
