hi guys where is the best place to get a tailshaft centre bearing for an 04 xr6 turbo? I've seen them on eBay for $65 which comes with 12 months warranty. is there a nolathane style??

Ralph Wiggum knows ,just send him a message . ps do not know if there are any nolathane ones

If sedan.... Use genuine only!! Aftermarket are rubbish.

Allignment, strength... Resulting in vibration... Failures...

cant get genuine for a ba shaft though

My BF2 Ute just chewed mine out and car is now stranded at a mates place. Car is undrivable.

Can this be swapped over at home with a semi decent setup ( rattle gun ect) sh*t timing as everywhere is about to close for xmas/new years

yes I watched them do it while I got my shaft balanced .it did not look like it would be hard to do .

Did the job on my BA XR6T ute a few months ago.

Getting the tail shaft out is easy enough if you can get the car up high enough to climb under safely.

I had already bought the replacement bearing at Hardy Spicer. The bloke there said to be careful with dismantling it - not to let the balls fall out of the CV joint.

At home, once I figured that I was getting to a point where I could stuff it up, I took the tail shaft, tools, new bearing, etc, back to Hardy Spicer to clarify what to do. Someone there explained it to me again and I swapped the bearing over in the carpark. Took the tail shaft back home and put it back in the ute.

The utes use a CV joint (ie leaf spring back end) and the sedans use a universal joint.
