Posted 24/04/06 07:01 AM Share Posted 24/04/06 07:01 AM Speaking of Phoons Sixer , have you ordered one yet ?←not yet...I don't want to do it through frost cause they're squeezers.Been thinking about one of those mostrous ford F350's that I can claim as a company car though.... Can't claim the Phoon it's not much chop in the bush. (though neither is the 350, I suspect.)

Romulus Donating Members 1,279 Member For: 20y 4m 12d Location: Perth Posted 24/04/06 08:19 AM Share Posted 24/04/06 08:19 AM Yep, had a similar problem. All fixed now ←JasonPlease may I ask what you did as I have just given up.RegardsAdrian←Sure, I'd bet it's a CV on it's way out. I replaced my LH driveshaft after it busted and the vibration the car had went away. I had this problem with my VT GENIII as well. I went through 3 sets of CV's (left and right) during the time I had it. CV's won't last forever, especially when putting power through them.It's not a common problem on a stock car, but rears it's head on modified ones. Most tuners/performance shops should be able to tell you this, but a Ford service centre probably wont.

You might have to take it to Barry's new workshop and have them put it on a hoist and run the car.Won't be to hard finding which one is gone (perhaps both are stuffed).

Strange thing is I've got another shockwave one as a loan car while they sort mine, and it does exactly the same thing with only 2500 klms on it, so I'm gonna put it down to the colour And you don't need a hoist to make a car go well, you need a tuner with runs on the board.
