Mark, don't go to Fords, way too expensive.

What has exactly gone on them.

is it the 3 legged bearing on the end.

these are about £40 each from Woodford.


You could buy used drive shafts with then on, theres a set for sale in the parts section,may be complete.

I have fitted the 4x4 ones in mine,these are slightly longer and supposed to be better for lowered cars.

i have had no probs with mine.

the Shaft it's-self is fine! The inner CV is fine just the outer one is busted! The cage which holds the bearings in has collapsed! Bearings has dissapeared somewhere and my lovely compomotive have lots of CV grease on the inside of it now!

Had a passenger in the car and attempted to pull off...speedo was going mad (reading 60mph in 1st, lol) thought...Hmmmm something not right here

Got the passenger to simulate pulling away while i looked under the car...shaft was spinning well but the CV joint wasn't D'oh!

Just don't buy it from Fords.

Cheaper elsewhere.

They're about £50 each from a motor factor.

Includes the stub and eveything
