Default Front diff inner O/S/F joints? anyone still make them?

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...

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

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

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.

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....
