If I replace it and it isn't the cause what do I do then... start replacing more bits until I've replaced everything?

rollex Member 683 Member For: 10y 5m Gender: Male Location: Australia Posted 24/02/15 08:00 AM Author Share Posted 24/02/15 08:00 AM Well I have conflicting advice, two guys who have looked at it and said it is fine, and two guys on the internet who say replace it.I'm curious why you say replace it, have you seen centre bearings with no play that look fine but still clunk? I'm no expert so I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert so I have no idea.Did this with my FPV ute. Climbed under and tried to move the tail shaft around. Wouldn't budge, so I assumed that the bearing was fine.At inspection time, there was a slight tear in the rubber on top of the bearing surround. Bought a new centre bearing from Hardy Spicer and fitted it easily enough. It eliminates one possibility, and means that there's one less thing to go wrong in the future.

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,924 Member For: 16y 6m 29d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 27/02/15 02:25 AM Share Posted 27/02/15 02:25 AM Do a dyno run while looking under the car; you'll see the CB shift around. If it doesn't move on a dyno then you'll have to look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletime Donating Members 937 Member For: 13y 10m Gender: Male Posted 05/03/15 06:41 AM Share Posted 05/03/15 06:41 AM Just had my CB replaced today, signs were vibration under load mainly up hill on the highway, and excessive shaft play. See how it's off centre and the cracking up top of the rubber where it's stretched. Place I did it also found that when I had my broken diff bolt and hat replaced last year by ford that whoever did it had no idea what they were doing, the handbrake cable was jammed in against the diff and rubbing through, explains why my diff was so clunky before as well, feels nice and tight in the rear now it's great! Didn't get charged for that fix up either,! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
