Happy Christmas all.

Not been around much lately. Mainly because the disco has been running really great. Having spent a good few months after first owning getting things up to scratch, it really is quite bullet proof. Apart from.........

So over 3 years ago. I bought a fully serviceable front drive shaft, then promptly never serviced it, once.

I’m ashamed, but it doesn’t alter the fact that its chirping.

Can I get away with giving it a good greasing, which I know will shut it up, but is it just not worth it? Do I have to pay for my idiocy with the price of a new DS?

Alternatively, does anyone want to part Ex a slightly abused one, with a less so item?

Seasons greetings folks.

 

I hate to say it but rebuild or replace. $200 on a driveshaft is still way cheaper than a tranny

 

 

X3.... After 3 years of neglect, I'd start from scratch and get a new driveshaft just to be on the safe side.

 

Yeah... i guessed. Thanks dudes. Appreciate the comments.

I’m a fool.

Next question. who is open and delivering drive shafts over this time of year? i dont like it squealing, feel nervous its going to let go.

Ideally by the end of the week.

Whaddya reckon?

 

Not a lot most likely. Just pull it lock the CDL and roll rear wheel drive. Lucky8 opens back up on Thursday.

 

"Alternatively, does anyone want to part Ex a slightly abused one, with a less so item?"

Don't all rush eh

That could have been an expensive escapade Cappedup, thankfully it never broke and smashed the tranny.

 

Question... The rear driveshaft never chirps ?

 

Erik at Lucky8 has sorted me out.

Thanks all.

 

You'll note that it is only the Cardan that has the Tweety Pie inside it due to the geometry and center ball arrangement whereas the other UJ's rarely 'let go' even if un-greased
