Shafted !!!

[Kev_BLNXR8_Ute]

My Ute has been shafted...

I was driving home and noticed a noise.
Almost like a collapsed wheel bearing. :

I pulled over for a bit of a look.
Shook the rear end had a look under neath.
Couldn't see anything.:

Continued to drive home.
Noise was getting slightly worse, Had all sorts of things going through my mind, Diff, Axle, Couldn't be the new gear box or clutch, ect.
Was real bad when i drove off from the last set of lights around the corner from my place. :

Got it home, Jacked up the ar$e end. Shook the wheels, all seemed fine.
Then I turned the wheels. :
There was the noise... I thought hmmm a CV in the tail shaft, I have done that before.
So I climbed under the Ute and grabbed the tail shaft to give it a spin.
Not a CV, I notice the shaft just sort of hanging in the middle section resting on the exhaust....

Talk about shafted..... :



The center bearing/ hanger thing has parted company with its self


Oh well just another day in my life of , Wonder what I have broken now. :

Cheers......Kev
