Are there two types of drive shaft for a 1990 xj40 i have been in touch with a breaker and he has quoted me a price of £72 for this item as he says their are two types one with ABS and one for non-abs cars. as far as i am aware their isn't a non abs version. I think this is a bit over priced for a lump of metal with a universal joint at either end.

Hiya Jon,
I thought they were all ABS, Check on the JagLovers web site to be sure

Jon,
Take a look at
The 1990 and early 1991's had a driveshaft and center bearing combination unique to those cars. When the center bearing needs replacement on those cars, jaguar wants you to buy a whole driveshaft assy, since they don't sell the center bearing for that car. Many people will put in a later driveshaft and center bearing combination. Maybe thats what you are experiencing, part numbers for both years. ABS or Non-ABS the drive shaft should not make a difference. There are no ABS pickups on the driveshaft. Also, the only place I know of selling the Center bearing is Coventry West in Atlanta, Georga.
Cheers
Dave

I have used the CD quite a bit but it does state that it is for the 2.9 and
3.6L variants as mine is a 4.0 i asume that some of the parts may be different. Eventually i have actually purchased from another supplier for £30 whichdoesn't seem too bad after all.so nearly finished with re-inserting the Diff only one wheel station to complete then back on the road hopefully. by the way does anyone want to buy a knackered diff with about half an inch of freeplay on the input shaft.
cheers

Hmmm... a knackered diff with a mile of freeplay.... very tempting but I'm trying to give them up!! Aren't all the shafts the same irrespective of engine size as the g/box is in the same position so the distance from g/box to diff should be the same ('cept for the S3 LWB models)
Anyway, the pdf files on sngbarratt.com are very useful and I would suggest that anybody who reads this downloads the files for future reference.
Have fun!
