Propshafts by D&F...does anybody know?

Does anyone have experience with propshafts of Dunning&Fairbanks, Leeds? I want to replace the originals of my Defender 90 Puma by double-joint HD propshafts and Dunning&Fairbanks seems to be a good choice but I can hardly find anything about their products.

I lifted my Defender 2" and there is a noise like rattling in overrun mode. The best thing to quit that noise seems to change the propshafts. Otherwise the transfer case could be damaged...that´s what I read and my mechanic told me.

I agree I have had no transmission, clutch, vibration or noise issues since I changed to a D-C front prop. 130's have feeling's as well you know

Most are made by GKN, then re branded.
