P_BA_XR6 Member 271 Member For: 17y 16d Gender: Male Location: Castle Hill Posted 03/04/14 12:03 PM Share Posted 03/04/14 12:03 PM I had my tail shaft repaired by hardy spicer in moorebank Nsw.They repaired shaft which I broke. They have had the tailshaft half dozen times and still got it wrong everytime. I gave them measurements by written number even gave them photos of the places I measured off and to. I also took photos of the measurement. They made it too long and unbalance to what I thought but every time they still got it wrong. I ended up taking it somewhere else and have found that they have welded the joints not straight and they are off to the piss. Tailshaft at centre bearing was easily moving around 3 or 4 mm at 500rpm. I tried take it back to hardy spicer again before I took it somewhere else but they had told me basically well we don't have time and won't be able to help you for week or so. So my advice stay away go somewhere else. I have ended up paying this other mob to repair hardy spicer f.... Up couple hundred dollars. I now wish I just bought brand new one for the time it has taken me to try get this right and the cost it has had on my bank account to get it repaired. 5 days off and what waste f time. I wish I had the brains to buy the new one the first time any ways take it as some advice 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87899-tail-shaft-badly-repaired/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
