Lately I had begun feeling a vibration coming from the front end of my '95 Disco. (157,000 miles)
Yesterday I was pulling some stumps and had it in 4-low. While turning, I could hear a popping sound. Simple enough, CV Joints.
Today, I'm riding down the road, when a my front end goes to crap. I pull over and find that the front U-Joint had blown apart, with the spinning shaft knocking a dent in my oil pan and a few other interesting things.
I disconnected the front driveshaft, thinking that I could just drive home with the rear one, except that I have no power to the rear shaft.
It worked fine the day before, pulling stumps.
Anybody had any experience with this, or any suggestions? I am starting to put a parts list togeather now.
Thanks,
Mike Cox
