Tailshaft/Uni Joint

[fane]

The car is back to normal, i need a new set of mags and a wheel alignment but apart from that its all good.

Just before i dodged that accident and fked my mags i diagnosed a problem with my uni-joint in the tailshaft...

Apparently they sometimes (rarely) get dry, anyway i need a new uni-joint but they are forged or machined or something onto the tailshaft.

So Tim my mechanic is gonna try and get a 2nd hand one....im also posting on here to see if anyone knows where to get one??

Otherwise we will be sending it to the perth to get the uni-joint ripped off and another machined on....

Any help will be greatfull.....thanks guys...

I had the name of the people that did mine, Unijoint engineering (I think I've lost the card) they did a good job. When my car came off the boat the wheel was vibrating badly at 80km/hr+ so it went off and had all 3 unijoints machined out and replaced has been fine since (almost 2 years ago) was around $360.

Last one cost me $250 balanced , new unis works a treat :headspin:

I took the tailshaft in, the compliance mechanic took it off for me and got it back the next day.
