Verve Donating Members 126 Member For: 16y 2m 9d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted 01/10/13 08:32 AM Share Posted 01/10/13 08:32 AM The centre bearing on my tailshaft on my 09 fg xr6 turbo ute is stuffed. Knocks under load..My local dealer quoted me $1700 for a replacement tailshaft plus fitting. What a joke.....Are there any other options or aftermarket replacements for this bearing?

fehlbie Donating Members 142 Member For: 16y 2m 20d Posted 05/10/13 11:43 AM Share Posted 05/10/13 11:43 AM I had my tail shaft centre bearing cut out and a bf centre bearing put in, along with thick walled shafts. Including labour it was $1200. Just go to a tail shaft specialist. The bf centre bearings are replaceable Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86411-fg-xr6-turbo-tailshaft-centre-bearing-replacement/#findComment-1430678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
