Sweet Mother of God!!!!!!

Jacko, A* Sir Top the class in Drive shaft destruction!!

 

[jacko]

can i have a day off now please? spent sunday polybushing the wishbones, monday trying to find a clonk and today fixing a broken axle / cv joint!!!!

ps the clonk was a tiny bit of play in the new ball joints, gave it an extra 'grunt' and all tight now.

happy tho, 4hrs and £30 & shes running again

cheers to tyeboi for running me to the driveshaft shop
hope the throttle body settles & the new wishbones are good...

 

[burfyboy]

Ouch

Who were the CV joints made by? Thats a pretty rare failure!

 

[jacko]

original ford cv joint that snapped.....

new one is shaftec (brand new). snapped a ford driveshaft before, replaced with shaftec copy....all has been well so happy iv got one of their cv joints now.

 

[burfyboy]

Oh well at least its sorted :grin:

I replaced my original Ford items with Shaftec parts too, they are briliant

 

[TyeBoi]

what fuels the jacko....?

 

[jacko]

haha!!!

forgot about that pic...classic!

 

[warrenpenalver]

Dont know why the wheel would come off??? i thought on those hubs the hole where the screw thread on the stubshaft goes through hub isnt big enough to pull through the spline???

you could cause massive accelerated bearing wear as its not tight up against the CV flange to remove "wobble" :twisted:
