Land Rover Discovery II Front Driveshaft TVB000100

This is a complete front driveshaft for the Land Rover Discovery Series II. It fits 1999-2002 models with the 4.0L V8 and 2003-2004 models with the 4.6L V8. It replaces Land Rover TVB000100, TVB000110, TVB100370 and FTC5320, and crosses to Dorman 938-510 and 65-7050. For 1999 it fits the Series II only, not a late Series I.

The shaft is painted steel with a tube yoke, a slip spline and a universal joint at each end. It measures 25.35 in. extended and 23.78 in. compressed, end to end.

On the Discovery II the front shaft is short and works at a sharp angle, so the u-joints and the slip spline wear out. The signs are a clunk when you shift between Drive and Reverse, a vibration at highway speed, a u-joint that feels notchy or loose when you rotate the shaft by hand, or rust weeping out around the u-joint caps. If the spline is dry and worn, new u-joints alone will not stop the clunk. A complete shaft fixes the joints and the spline at the same time.

When you install it, clean the flange faces at the transfer case and the front differential and torque the fasteners to the factory spec. Check the front differential pinion seal while the shaft is out.
