After my drive shaft dropped off I realised it's because it's slightly banana shaped. Must have taken a knock in an earlier life. So I'd better buy a replacement. Does anyone know if the JustKampers one is Ok? Or is there a better place to buy one? http://www.justkampers.com/21159833...v-joints-t2-bay-1967-1979-brazilian-bays.html Thanks!
It's just the near side wheel one. Other side is fine. The bolts have worked loose a few times and now I know why. If you jack it up and run the wheels quite fast you can see the shaft wobbling a tiny bit. So I hope that's it...
A new empi one will almost certainly be worse than the bent one you have. And it will break/rust/disintegrate/combust at the point you need it most leaving you stranded. More loc-tite on the bolts it'll be fine (possibly!)
I've used a few of the J and R joints and boots. No Issues yet edit, they only seem to do the cv joints now no shafts. Could go cheap to get yourself out of a hole !! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Drive-Sha...728406&hash=item544cbe6ab5:g:WnIAAOxyNwNSH2iC
Veedubmachine have complete driveshafts for 60 quid, not sure on quality though Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
@davidoft csme up with the goods. Thanks for the advice. Just got to fit it before Saturday now! The Dorset coast beckons...
Btw there were no loc tites on the bolts. Should there be? @davidoft has an as-new one he is kindly selling me.
Don't think so, just the serrated washers. It was more that if you though it was vibrating loose some good quality loctite application would probably be a good temporary bodge...
No Loctite. It won't do much anyway, as there's so much grease around. Fit the spreader plates, serrated washers (ideally new ones) and tighten the bolts to 28 lf/ft. They shouldn't come undone.
When it says 28 ft lb that means using a driver that you can get a torque wrench on, not "so tight I bent the Allen key", which is usually a lot less than 28 ft lb.
