M35 Front Drive Shaft Info Needed

[phat300]

Hi guys just got my car back from the mechanic and the reason for my vibration at highway speed is due to the front universal joint on the front drive shaft has some play in it. has anyone replaced one of these before, the mechanic said that usually with this type of universal joint the whole shaft need to be replaced any one with experience with this would be helpful, part no. and approx price's would also be useful

thanks guys

If its like the C34 they have "non seviceable" universals but a driveshaft repair shop can machine out the old ones and install new ones (or one).

yup not a C34

M35s are rebuildable. craig has had one done

what side is it? we might be able to work out an exchange

the one in your car atm is mine(when I pay for it).....the one out of you car on the floor at Gladesville is yours! ....the spare is in my car at the moment.

[zei20l]

i thought you were only taking the transmission?

anyway, is there a spare for this dude?

[Jetwreck]

It's part of the transmission though

and yes on the spare...but only when we do the trans changes.

we should really put some of these deals on paper

yeah we need to get onto that crap soon, someone needs to do a turbo rebuild. its still in the warehouse right? i might grab it this weekend

[phat300]

yes i would be happy with a spare one that i could rebuild if the price was right otherwise i'll just strip out mine and have the car off the road for the week (not realy a problem for me i drive a work car and only realy drive the stag on weekends)

if you pull out the shaft, i THINK youll let all the attesa fluid out too so youll need to top that up and bleed the system.

Wouldn't it just be transfer case lubricant?

[zei20l]

which is the same stuff

[KiwiRS4T]

Not the case with C34 and pretty sure it won't be with M35. Haven't any of you pulled the shaft for a two wheel dyno etc?
