My front O/S/F inner driveshaft joint and shaft need replacing after a unreplaced bottom arm cause problems... Vibrates all over the place over 80mph on boost... Had it looked at this was the problem...

Here's a picture of what i need off Microcat of a 4wd cos front diff...



Need items 16a + 17a

Any body got ideas on where to try?

mailed FordPartsuk and they are looking for me... Just wonder anywhere else to try. Thanks...

 

so you just need a inner cv joint and gaitor or the complete shaft?

most driveshaft comapnies should be able to help you mate

 

The end of the shaft as worn very badly and mullered the inner joint...

So i need both the joint and the shaft, D'oh

 

Just buy a full shaft and keep your old outer as a spare...

 

just get a reconned shaft shaft
thats what i did on mine, i got 2 new shafts with new gaitors and 4 new hoints for around £150

exchange

Get ready for your pants to be pulled down!

 

Burtons haven't got back to me...

Fordpartuks say CV joint new = 144.87

shaft not made anymore...

GGR £300 for uprated shaft with outer and inner cv joints delivered (which i thought wasn't bad tbh)

 

sod paying £300 for a shaft mate

most driveshafts companies can recon yours exchange for around £150 for the pair! and thats the xr longer shafts aswell

gowings is just down the road from me

 

Smit - Try Woodford Garage motorsport.

I got mine from them (the tri knuckle bit that is)

Shaft wise, I have a pair of XR4x4 Front shafts to list on Ebay this week.

Spiky - Lots of people just sell the shaft with an outer CV joint. As you've got to remove the diff plate and remove the clip to get it out...

So many of them are left with the front diff when sold!

Been asking about and can get my own shaft reconned for 65quid....

Si - xr4x4 ones are slightly longer and caused problem when replacing before i went to Croft last month. Thanks for the offer though

 

Anybody know the FINIS code for the tri knuckle?

 

Stu - yes matey... here you go...

Sierra Cosworth CV Joint (17a)
Part Number: 6672253
This part is showing as Back Ordered from Ford's so should be available but we can not give an exact delivery date.
You Pay: £117.73

I got this with my quote. Not included is VAT and P+P

 

If that is the same bit as the bit I got from Woodford, you could just pay £50 ish, which is slightly better

Worth ringing them and seeing if what they sell is what you need.

Si

 

Is that the no for the tri knuckle, or the CV? Been looking on the Microcat at work, to try and find the number, but no joy so far....

I get trade at my local Fords mate, PM me any finis codes over and i'll get prices for you.

 

I work for a Ford dealer, i wasnt sure of the finis code for the tripod...
