Center Tailshaft Bearing Farked....

[fpv_ute]

Have taken the tailshaft back to ford (wish I took some pics), and pretty much said, since you guys destroyed it, you can fix it now... And yea its a fg, I know its going to happen again... and if they refuse it next time ill just fork out the $2500 and get mal to make up a bomber shaft. and yea it is just the center bearing but the guys at Hardie Spicer said my cv was shot also? ill soon find out though.

if its your cv that's rooted also, ford should replace it, call ford customer care, tell them you know of heaps of people on this forum with the same issue and for them to contact your local dealer

I had the same problem I have a fg xr6t ute and my center was busted and was just sitting on the sharft loop. it still drove but I knew something was wrong so I took it to my mates machaic shop and got him to fix it because he said ford wount cover you they will tell you its been abused so I dident bother going but I think its happening again I hear the knocking and tocking noise when I take off(manual 6 speed) sometimes expecialy when im on a slight hill.

If the tail shaft is not balanced exact it will be going through bearings like hotcakes,

Just thought I would put that out there

If your ute lowered?

Is it stock? Flash tuned? Anything?

Does the car suffer from axle tramp?? If so, you need a tramp rod kit!
