Classic Mini Drive Shaft Coupling Set (Quinton Hazel Roller Type) QL5000

Classic Mini Drive Shaft Coupling Set Similar to the Quinton Hazel Roller Type.    QL5000

Heavy duty needle roller type coupling with plastic ends. 

Sold as a 26 piece kit.

The very early Minis used the rubber U-joint drive couplings GCD101 to eliminate harshness from being transmitted to the passenger compartment.

Over the years the rubber will separate from the metal sleeves and allow the driveshaft to rotate out of concentricity.

Not only can this cause vibration, but it can also allow it to hit either the transmission case or more often, the exhaust pipe.

These roller type couplings are 16mm narrower (92mm) from side to side than a rubber coupling which can help when fitting a LCB exhaust manifold.

These couplings have Nylon cups with needle bearings.

The very early Minis used the rubber joint drive couplings GCD101 to eliminate harshness from being transmitted to the passenger compartment. 

The rubber coupling alternative made by Mini Spares has superior nylon cups with needle bearings. U bolts should be tightened to 8-10lbf.ft-do not over tighten.

A car set (both sides) comes complete with new U-bolts, & nuts.
