Description
Discovery 2 front propshaft repair kit built around three GKN greaseable 75mm universal joints and a new double-cardan centre bearing kit. The front propshaft uses one universal joint at the differential end and two more in the double-cardan joint at the transfer box end. Replacing all three joints and the centre bearing allows a serviceable original propshaft to be fully rebuilt rather than replaced as a complete assembly.
Kit Contents
- 3 x GKN greaseable 75mm universal joints
- 1 x double-cardan centre bearing
- 1 x centre bearing spring
- 1 x centre bearing oil seal
Vehicle Fitment
- Discovery 2 TD5
- Discovery 2 V8
- Manual and automatic transmission
- Front double-cardan propshaft
Related Propshaft Parts
If the original propshaft has damaged yokes, worn splines or is no longer suitable for rebuilding, the Discovery 2 front propshaft is available as a complete replacement. See Land Rover universal joints and propshaft service parts for individual joints, centre bearing kits, grease and related parts.

GKN Driveline Parts
GKN driveline parts for Land Rover propshaft, universal-joint and CV-joint repairs, including complete propshafts, greaseable UJs, CV boot kits and double-cardan repair parts.
Start with the vehicle, front or rear propshaft position and the component being replaced. Older Land Rovers may have replacement shafts or driveline parts fitted, so check the original part number, joint dimensions, flange arrangement and kit contents before ordering.
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.
Component actually fitted
An older Land Rover may have a replacement, rebuilt or upgraded propshaft that differs from the original vehicle specification.
Universal-joint dimensions
Measure across the bearing cups and confirm the bearing-cap diameter. Nominal 75mm, 82mm and 95mm joints are not interchangeable.
Part number and kit contents
Use the original part number together with the product description. Check whether bearings, boots, circlips, seals or other fitting parts are included.
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.
| Product group | How it is shown on Twinwoods 4x4 |
|---|---|
| GKN propshaft | Complete branded propshaft supplied for the vehicle, position and driveline fitment stated on the product page. |
| GKN universal joint | Branded greaseable UJ identified by its dimensions, propshaft position and replacement part number. |
| GKN propshaft repair kit | Repair kits identify the supplied universal joints, centre-bearing parts and other included components. |
| GKN CV joint or boot part | CV components and boot kits are identified by the relevant axle, joint and original part-number fitment. |
| GKN Hardy Spicer | Used where Hardy Spicer supply information and GKN product markings both help identify the part. |
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.

Buy with confidence: all new parts sold by Twinwoods 4x4 include at least 12 months manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
Some products and brands may include a longer warranty period where this is provided by the manufacturer. Where applicable, this will normally be stated on the individual product page or covered by the manufacturer’s own warranty terms.
Warranty cover applies to manufacturing defects. It does not cover misuse, incorrect fitting, competition use unless stated, contamination, modification, damage during installation, normal wear and tear, or failure caused by an unrelated vehicle fault. For certain components, proof of professional fitment may be required.
Warranty claims may require the part to be returned for inspection and/or supplier testing before the claim is accepted. Any advance replacement is discretionary.
Warranty remedies relate to the part itself, meaning repair or replacement, or refund if those are not possible. Warranty does not cover labour, removal or refitting, diagnostics, consumables, travel or other incidental costs.
This warranty is in addition to your legal rights and does not reduce those rights.
