MBAF Bronze Donating Members 2,156 Member For: 8y 4m 9d Posted 18/08/19 10:15 AM Share Posted 18/08/19 10:15 AM ^ this Sure it’s not diff related? Have you checked from the box back as far as driveline bushes, centre bearing and what not? I had had a similar knock in my sedan and it turned out to be movement in the driveline due to engine/gear box mounts etc. Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They couldnt recreate the sound without driving it. They did mention the cvs were fine and the centre bearing was slightly sagging and had a tiny tear at the top but wouldn't bother replacing until you could feel it going. There's no vibration at speed. What kind of bushing do the 6 spd manual boxes run? Where do you even get them from? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithfkn Member 54 Member For: 5y 5m 4d Posted 18/08/19 11:10 AM Author Share Posted 18/08/19 11:10 AM Worth buying a whole cv kit? Something like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FORD-FALCON-FG-UTE-XR6-TURBO-XR8-TAIL-SHAFT-BEARING-CV-JOINT-DRIVE-SHAFT-CUPLING/263057033160?_trkparms=aid%3D1110001%26algo%3DSPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20161006002618%26meid%3D1957cdffd29b42b7a6a39f00eda4d950%26pid%3D100694%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D29%26sd%3D282331873926%26itm%3D263057033160%26pg%3D2385738&_trksid=p2385738.c100694.m4598 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBAF Bronze Donating Members 2,156 Member For: 8y 4m 9d Posted 18/08/19 11:14 AM Share Posted 18/08/19 11:14 AM By all means if you’re in there doing it, why not go a little further. It can’t hurt that is for sure. My car was 1000 times better when I did all mine. Fixed all my apparent suspension issues that were similar to yours. I did do engine mounts to at the same time however just because (1 was on the way out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithfkn Member 54 Member For: 5y 5m 4d Posted 18/08/19 11:20 AM Author Share Posted 18/08/19 11:20 AM I'll definitely check it out. Easy enough to do at home on the garage floor? Mark the tailshaft, bolts in / bolts out sort of arrangement? Hard to get a part number for a centre bearing as I've been reading theres some variety with these things!

Lithfkn Member 54 Member For: 5y 5m 4d Posted 18/08/19 11:25 AM Author Share Posted 18/08/19 11:25 AM I'll get onto Hardy Spicer and see what kind of price they can do for a cv/cb kit. Thanks for your help mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
