Forklar det på svensk då. Tenker du på festet under girkassen? Eller den hardy koblingen mellom mellomakslingen og girkassen?

Nej de är i skarven på kardan,efter hardy skivan och innan stödlagret..där är kardan delad och de är splines som man för in.Över splinesen sitter en mutter/hylsa som gängas på den främre kardan i den hylsa dvs på kardan ska de sitta ett gummi som klämmer imot kardan sen.

Doesnt sound like it. Im still a little confused regarding what part he needs, but Ive gathered its for the propshaft. Im guessing something to do with the middle "joint" on it?
Has anyone got a picture of a complete propshaft? Maybe he can point out what hes looking for...

im thinking it could be mate.

as he does mention its before the support bearing, so it doesnt leave much else to be the issue.

Yes its between the support bearing and the gearbox,there u can split the propshaft in 2 and adjust it in lenght etc.they are put together when u push the prop that comes from the back of the car rear diff etc inside the little prop from the gearbox,and over the prop goes some sort om nut that makes it tight IF u have a rubber gadget inside that makes it tight against the front prop.Its the rubber i need a got the nut and props.I have no problem whit english but all the mekanical words I hope u understand what i mean.

If Ford dont do spares for these, maybe you can try someone like GKN Driveline. They do driveshafts, propshafts etc
