Default DURANGO D joints ??????

What's the purpose of these ? Is it to smooth out the transmission ?






Looks like they are ready for production looking at the laser markings !

They are for reducing drivetrain losses due to the constant angle of the centre CVD's.
We've been testing them since Cactus, we'll release them when they've been approved by the team.


Keep an eye out On the TD website.

The T3 has these as an option for the outboard driveshafts and I've seen them on the D8 too, theory is sound on them to be honest, should be good!

Does it just stop the chatter that you can get with it being on an angle ?

Only just spotted this...
There will be a set to allow you to upgrade completely which will contain.
1 Front D/S
1 Rear D/S
2 Djoint Collars
2 Djoint Inputs
4 Barrels
4 Pins
4 Grub Screws

The stock driveshafts won't fit due to the way the Djoint works, there is some hidden clever-ness going on!

They've been in my car for Cactus, Worksop, RHR testing and RHR Spring Cup.. No issues, no loosening pins, just a little quieter sounding car and very free!

Looking good!

I wonder if off-road will begin to use double joints on driveshafts as are becoming popular in on-road?
