fpv_ute Member 67 Member For: 14y 6m 7d Gender: Male Location: collaroy Posted 05/04/11 09:55 AM Author Share Posted 05/04/11 09:55 AM (edited) Have taken the tailshaft back to ford (wish I took some pics), and pretty much said, since you guys destroyed it, you can fix it now... And yea its a fg, I know its going to happen again... and if they refuse it next time ill just fork out the $2500 and get mal to make up a bomber shaft. and yea it is just the center bearing but the guys at Hardie Spicer said my cv was shot also? ill soon find out though.
