Guest Skrema Guests Posted 05/12/07 03:48 AM Share Posted 05/12/07 03:48 AM Morning guys,Just sold another set, only one left. PM me if anyone else wants this set. I'll bring them all down on Friday.TravSo from reading this thread im getting the idea that these are a must.... How much stronger are they? I have a manual and I never do hard launches or flick the cluth to spin the wheels in gear so am I safe to assume these would last a fairly long time in my case?Also how hard are they to fit?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evo122 Member 4 Member For: 17y 3m 16d Posted 24/03/08 06:44 AM Share Posted 24/03/08 06:44 AM I've just gone thru the painful process of repairing a bent axle on a ute. The axle was bent after bumping a gutter upon a swift, and spectacular I might add, exit from a round-a-bout. The car was driveable, however there was an annoying squeak noticeable as the brake caliper was pulled back and forth with the 'wobble' of the axle. Ford wanted upwards of $650 for a new axle (pfffttttt), and my next best option at the time was to have a new one machined from some form of 'blank' axle template at a cost of around $450, and there was a bit of a lead time sourcing one with a 30 spline.After more investigation I found a mob called D&R differentials in Sydney who were able to straighten the axle for around $100. I freighted the axle from newcastle and had it returned 2 days later. I have refitted the axle to the car with a new bearing/seal and all is well and good. (Total cost of about $210)Hope this saves anyone with a similar problem a bit of coin. Up yours to fords parts department.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
