7 wonders of the world Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 My OE Prop lasted 3400 miles from being new with the kit, front joint fooked, it was greased prior to building, again on PBC and every 6 months again. Took it to a local place in Hartlebury who builds the props for Westfield and their racers, was none to complimentary about the OS joints, said Westfield used to use something similar until they had similar low mileage failures then they up specced them. He put new greaseable joints in an balanced it perfect never had any more issues for the next 10k - I sold the car then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskossie Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 7wonders, What was the vintage of your Seven? Has CC upgraded its DS joints since your experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBL Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Quoting Alaskossie: Uh-oh -- Mine is a 2007, one of the last left-hand Imperial/Arch chassis models. Mine is a 2006, closing in on 15,000 miles now w/ no UJ issues to date. Not sure what a DS joint or OS joint is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 DS = drive shaft and OE = original equipement Gilles, if the indent is not exactly at the seal it will be ok, the propshaft hardly moves on a DD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catastrada Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 but it is Another propshaft is on the way and should arrive this morning. But most of all : the Sadev is IN 🥰 Picture I will sent you an email because 3 things need to be modified / planned before you swap. Once they are done, the swap with the Sadev is 100% plug and play now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
