Thread: APT heavy duty drive shaft

My new TW turned up during the week.... with a uni binding on one of the axes at the single cardin end. Not very happy with that 'quality' to say the least ....

back it goes...

Did you try giving it a hit with a hammer. I have fitted hundreds of uni joints and after it is all assembled can sometimes be tight.

A good whack with the hammer would usually fix it.

Mate, i've bought heaps of parts over the years. It's either right as advertised
or it goes back. At near on $700, I do not resort to a hammer just to void the warranty.

Here's a recent link to what seems to be a TW shaft - if not, it's certainly very similar, with 1310 Dana components. At about $450 delivered, it the same price that I've been quoted by Hardy Spicer in Melbourne to rebuild (and balance) my standard shaft with grease-able 1300 components.

Many thanks. Unless I'm mistaken it's a Bill at Utah special. Have taken a chance and ordered one

Let me know how that goes. . I don't really want to go up to 1310 but, at the same cost a a rebuilt 1300, you'd have to have a pretty good reason not to. My original has a heap of balance-weight at 12 o'clock at the front and another heap at 6 o'clock at the rear, so I think it has an inherent manufacturing problem. If yours turns out ok, I'll be ordering one next pay day.
