ive got a bit of play in my propshaft centre bearing on my 2wd saff.Ive just called fords who said they dont sell the bearing or rubber donut on there own anymore so id have to buy a whole shaft...yeah right.,but ive phoned up another car spares place and they said it could be the bearing that has seized causing the rubber donut to wear out or could just be the rubber donut itself.Does this sound about right to you and what have you guys experienced in the past.

 

hi mate i had a center prop bearing go on my 2wd saph i phoned up fords they said they could not get one then they phoned me back & it was a bloke that nows all about cossies & he said he could get one he ordered it from fords in germany & it was only £60 ok mate (ford newbury 01635555340 ask for matty if this no has changed get them to put you through to newbury).

 

is there a difference between cossies centre bearing and other, weeker 2WD sierra/saff versions ?
can you upload a pic of your driveshaft ?

 

top stuff matey...will give them a try

 

a was going to post the same topic, a just got the same answer just before a logged on.

a better give them a call too

 

surely one of the breakers could help yous out?

 

let us no how you got on

 

yippee...phoned matt at fords in newbury and he gave me the finnis code for the centre bearing,i then called the same dealer local to me who told me i had to buy the whole shaft and guess what???...he can get one for the morning...

finnis code is 1613023

 

how did you know there was play in it?

what are the symptoms?

 

get it up on ramps and grap hold of the propshaft either side of the centre bearing and push it up and down...mine had a load of play in it and the rubber donut is being squashed out the side......when you pull away you will get a bit of a shudder and maybe a knock on gear changes.

 

Glad you got it sorted bud.

thanks for the contact alan....i wouldnt have got it without you mate....cheers
