Land Rover Part Number: RTC3291 - Universal Joint
RTC3291 is a universal joint fitted within the propshaft assembly. It transmits rotational torque between sections of the propshaft where alignment varies, allowing drive to pass across a change in angle while accommodating suspension movement and chassis articulation. The joint commonly suits older Land Rover propshaft applications where a 74.6mm cap-to-cap fitment is specified; confirm the cap dimensions and yoke style on the vehicle before ordering.
Please note: This part number has been replaced by RTC3458 and will be supplied when RTC3291 stock is exhausted.

Frequently Asked Questions
The RTC3291 universal joint links two sections of the propshaft to allow rotational drive to pass across a change in angle while accommodating suspension and chassis movement. It transfers torque between the transmission and driven shafts and helps maintain smooth driveline operation. Regular inspection for worn bearings, excessive play or lubricant loss is advised; if any of these are present the joint should be replaced to prevent vibration and further driveline damage.
