xpl0sive Member 421 Member For: 16y 3d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 27/01/15 01:42 AM Share Posted 27/01/15 01:42 AM Hi Guys,Just wondering if anyone has used one of these billet aluminium tailshaft couplings in place of the factory rubber donut bush. Mine has cracked in several places and needs to be replaced. Just wondering if this would be a better option, or if I should just stick to the genuine rubber donut bush. Tried to research it but can't seem to find much feedback on it.

I asked a cv guy I know pretty well that did my shaft about broken centers. Standard falc has a 30mm, high output models have a 35mm. I asked about sleaving something up to use a 40mm when this one fails. His response "for the f*cking about, benifit & cost compared to a std 35, wouldn't be bothered" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a good unit, just wondering if it's worth it or should I just stick to the standard rubber bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, maybe some people piss the rubber off completely once they build a wild custom shaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm keen to get one of these ASAP as I have my car up on the hoist at the moment doing a complete bush replacement with Superpro, wanted to do this at the same time whilst I had the car up there.

This is what I'd be most interested in knowing especially if it's a daily/family car and also where is the weak point then once these are fitted?
