Franga Donating Members 256 Member For: 9y 5m 27d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne, VIC Posted 11/01/16 09:45 PM Share Posted 11/01/16 09:45 PM Hopefully this is a quick one. I couldn't find anything via search. Probably Tapatalk.I'm due to replace my tailshaft centre bearing as mine is tearing. My question is, should I go with a genuine Ford item for $200+ or am I okay to go with an eBay job for $70 odd? Has anyone used one of these cheaper items?Thanks!

Or, just take the tail shaft there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
