BA t56 sedan.. Tossing up my options as how to fix it. There's a genuine ford unused BF xr6t manual sedan shaft on eBay for $700. Wanna know if being a BF shaft will it bolt on or no chance.. Or modified to fit? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke to a place today and they said budget $2000 for changing the front flange to a uni. Chromoly tubes. Stronger centre uni. Larger centre bearing. Reckons I'll have change from $2000.... Sound ball park right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could find a stocker for under $500 maybe it would be worth it but if it's only a bit over a grand for aftermarket...Hope you get it sorted out soon either way mate! Still yet to see the paint job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ba shafts are generally considered stronger than BF shafts so I would get the front coupling replaced, get the shaft cleaned and inspected, centre bearing and uni replaced and then play on.
