I was sure they had a OEM like-for-like replacement Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95136-fg-driveshaft/page/2/#findComment-1687473 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should they be replaced/upgraded in pairs? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95136-fg-driveshaft/page/2/#findComment-1693172 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletime Donating Members 937 Member For: 14y 5m 9d Gender: Male Posted 28/03/20 04:30 AM Share Posted 28/03/20 04:30 AM Also what size is the nut for the wheel hub?

gaz097 Bronze Donating Members 1,752 Member For: 13y 10m 28d Posted 28/03/20 05:12 AM Share Posted 28/03/20 05:12 AM Yeah the need to be cut down for aftermarket wheels. Just heavily deburr the ends to not damage the pack nut when fitting it. Always use a new nut as well. Can do them individualy if only doing axles. Same amount of work either side.Need a deep 36mm socket 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95136-fg-driveshaft/page/2/#findComment-1693190 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard wheels they are fine. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95136-fg-driveshaft/page/2/#findComment-1693192 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should do the hubs as well at 200k while theyre offthat's a fair amount to grind off Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95136-fg-driveshaft/page/2/#findComment-1693193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
