xhxrsix Member 174 Member For: 18y 15d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 08/07/13 02:41 PM Share Posted 08/07/13 02:41 PM One would assume the 30mm is standard and 35mm for the turbo/v8 models? I did one a while back on my BA and never needed to do anything fancy... it had a uni joint type though. If the tailshafts are busting is it the type with the old uni joint or the 'crimped' style that's worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that doesnt seem to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falky100 Donating Members 305 Member For: 13y 12d Gender: Male Posted 10/07/13 11:35 PM Share Posted 10/07/13 11:35 PM Wow. When I was getting tyres put on yesterday, the mechanic at Jax tyres quoted me $375 to replace the bearing. $240 for the part plus an hour or so labour.

My ute has (or had) the centre bearing and CV setup. When the the centre bearing let go it destroyed the centre CV too. The Centre Bearing was replaced but after driving it home the CV was stuffed as well. I had a new shaft made that has a removable uni and centre bearing that can be replaced.I wouldn't recommend using the place I went as my car has been back about four times for warranty related issues and is now only getting fixed after legal advice was sought. But if you can get someone to build you a shaft that has a removable uni and bearing its definitely the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
