Tailshaft Centre Bearing Failure

[Stock_as_a_rock]

So I've had a tailshaft centre bearing failure. I'm wondering if any of the sponsors or other companies have found a solution other than the Hardy spicer tailshafts that I've read about. I live in WA so a perth local workshop would be a preference and if anyone has a rough cost that'd be great.

Some driveshaft repairers are putting Late model camira ones in. Pretty sure the shaft has to be modified. But once done if it fails again its an easier fix. Had my tailshaft upgraded not long ago, but he left mine factory stock as he hadnt seen many failures..well atleast in FG's

Late model camira centre bearings? Interesting. ill have to enquire further on that one. Cheers

Yep theyre a heavier unit.. and repairable..

I had mine done at Monsta torque when my centre bearing failed with an upgraded shaft. Give them a call to find out a price for your model etc.

Phil at Final Drive engineering, I just had a built Tailshaft put in by him and he did an oversize centre bearing at the same time. Good service and cheapest by $650 compared to hardy spicer. Oh and he used chromoly where as Hardys only offered steel

GJ drivelines in do strengthened shaft with bigger centre bearing as I sheared mine.

Front yoke changed to a 1350 series uni

Over size centre bearing

Centre uni upgraded to 1350 series

Rear CV replaced as it was shagged

Front and rear tubing is 2.5" thick wall chromoly.

Built, balanced and fitted for $1600 inc gst

there is some massive variances here in pricing. Keen to see what the Final Drive tailshaft involves
