hi guys,

just had my car serviced a month or so ago and was adviced that my tailshaft has "play" in it and it is possibly the centre bearing. My mechanic said that it will need to be removed, fixed, rebalanced and pu back on. aprox cost $800, does this sound about right guys???

Opinions / advice / recommendations please!!!!

yes. tailshafts are expensive it's the balancing that many places charge through the nose for especially for a 2 piece shaft (which the standard item is).

that's the walk-in-off-the-street price anyway. if you "know someone" maybe you can get it cheaper but it cost me about that to get mine fixed when i destroyed the centre.

Shop around. I think you should find somewhere cheaper.

Recently had the yoke cut off a 33 tailshaft, welded to my 32 tailshaft, balanced, etc for around $150.

I am lucky in that I get trade price but & also used a proper driveline shop who specialises in tailshafts.

Would suggest you look for a similar specialist...

      I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

      Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...

      But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.

      That could easily make a horrible noise. +1 to the benefits of: a) Disclosing all relevant information when asking questions such as these, b) Actually going out and having a look at your own car, seeing as you're the one there, and we're not!
