Replacement Tail shaft?

[Mikey0211]

Hey guys,

After a mishap the other weekend out bush, which i thought it was just a broken uni joint, I took the shaft into the shop to get repaired as the ends of the shaft were a little flared out... I was told it was pretty well shagged, the ends were stuffed, main shaft was badly dented and the spline for the slip yoke, ( i think thats what it is called) was on its way out... He said he mabey could repair it ( with no garentee) for around $350 or make a new one for $650....

Do those prices sound right to you guys???

Has anyone ever had one made and is that around the right price, or does anyone know of where i could get even a 2nd hand one from.. I tried british offroad but they had none out in the yard..

Cheers guys
Mikey

to me it sounds ok, I had my rear shaft rebuilt in darwin, new slip joint fitted basically, and that was 660

What drive train have yu got?
I have a rear tail shaft from a Lt95 to a sal off a 85 county, I think it was in good condition when I took it off.

nope, the LT95 is the 4 speed. You (most likely) have the LT85.
