thanks a lot for the input and especially for the ultimate suspension recommendation this guys are great. they took over 1h to examine, measure, weight and test drive the car. quite a few things wrong with current setup so out goes the TF crap and US springs and shocks in + heavy duty custom sway bars and Bailey Morris extrem double cardan prop shaft and then they will also engineer the lot
Carefull with the Bailey Morris extreme DC propshaft, I could well be wrong, but I believe this the unit that some have had issues with and they (Bailey Morris) will not cover it or back up problems. I even think it is NOT for road use??
Tom Woods is the go. Best value for money DC propshaft and totally rebuildable.
I have seen others that require adapter flange added and cost more but dont seem as good. Have to wonder why?
Both Chook73 and I both had Bailey Morris Extreme DC shafts, Chooks fell apart after about 10,000k's mine after 7,000k's. Luckily the vibrations alerted us to the distruction of the DC joint before a catastrophic failure.
Mine was a Cohen, Cape York. Very inconvienant.
We were lucky and got a refund, but BM stated that they were never intended for high speed use.
Seriously go for a custom made shaft or a a Tom Woods.
You won't be disappointed
Yep steer clear of the Bailey Morris shafts, even worse was the gibson shaft.
What I have been able to ascertain is that everyone running castor corrected arms seems to have DC shafts fail. I am not sure if there is anyone running the Tom Woods shaft who has castor corrected arms?
I am going to back to the standard shaft with wider uni joints and slotted swivel balls, hopefully that will be the solution......
