Something wrong with my rear prop. Picture within.

People of BigJimny,

I have some questions. Today, whilst I was under my Jimny inspecting the carnage from smashing the transfer case off a big rock I noticed that the rear prop/drive shaft looked like it had emptied a fair bit of grease out of it plus looked like there was something missing. I think this damage was pre-transfer box damage but can't be 100% sure.

Is there a bearing in here? Rubber boot? The metal ring looks very like a bearing race? I just did 100 miles with it like this. I had no choice. It was not making much noise, well not enough to notice over the hum of mud terrains. You can see the grease that's flicked up round the underside of it.




What's missing/broken?

Just checked again and the ring appears to be a clamp for a rubber boot. The boot is leaking and flinging grease everywhere. Where can I get a replacement?

Ebay may have a second hand prop. I'm not sure if you can get the rubber boot and how to fit.

Someone may know on here.

Mine has exactly the same issue so il be interested to find out your cure for it.

Still not really found much out. I'm going to pull the shaft off at the weekend and will get a good look at it. Bound to be some way to repair it.
