Find the right GKN driveline part
GKN is an established driveline manufacturer covering propshafts, universal joints, CV joints, boots and related repair parts. Match the replacement to the component actually fitted, particularly where a Land Rover has been rebuilt, converted or fitted with a later replacement propshaft.
| Job | Best place to start | Check before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| Replace a complete propshaft | GKN propshaft for the correct vehicle and driveline layout | Confirm the front or rear position, vehicle, engine, wheelbase, flange arrangement and original part number |
| Rebuild a propshaft | GKN universal joint or propshaft repair kit | Measure the joint, confirm the bearing-cap diameter and check whether the propshaft uses a single or double-cardan joint |
| Repair a Discovery 2 front propshaft | GKN double-cardan repair kit or individual GKN universal joints | Check whether the universal joints, centre ball-seat parts or the complete repair set are required |
| Replace a CV joint boot | GKN boot kit matching the original CV joint and axle fitment | Confirm the vehicle, axle position, original part number and exact contents of the kit |
| Compare GKN and Hardy Spicer parts | Use the stated brand and physical product markings | Some universal joints and propshaft parts may be described as GKN Hardy Spicer because of the shared driveline history |
Check driveline fitment before ordering
Vehicle, year and VIN information can narrow the choice, but it may not confirm which propshaft, CV joint or universal joint is currently fitted. Replacement shafts, rebuilt components and conversions can differ from the original factory specification.
Propshaft or axle position
Confirm whether the part fits the front or rear propshaft, or the relevant axle and CV joint position.

GKN driveline quality
GKN Automotive supplies driveline products to vehicle manufacturers and positions its aftermarket range around OE-quality components. Individual Twinwoods product pages identify the exact GKN part, fitment, dimensions and included components rather than applying one broad quality claim to every product.

GKN and Hardy Spicer
Hardy Spicer became part of GKN’s automotive driveline business, which is why the names sometimes appear together on Land Rover propshafts and universal joints. Some products are supplied directly as GKN, while others are supplied as Hardy Spicer or described as GKN Hardy Spicer.
The brand and product title on each Twinwoods page identify how the individual part is currently supplied.
