I live on the central coast near gosford - struggling to find a drivers side drive shaft - one of the boots is torn, and dry as - not sure how long for

Does anyone know where i can source a replacement shaft - or someone from sydney to newcastle that would be able to do.

Appreciate any help in advance

cheers - I've got a boot sussed - more worried about the the actual joint - got a bit of click under load - will be rebooting and greasing in the interim - pretty confident ill need to replace or repair

Might be a little far for you being on the central coast, but this guy is the bomb for driveshafts, it's probably got the same end knuckle as like a X-trail or heaps of other Nissans so just call and ask. The company is called Steven Driveshafts and he's in Seven Hills off Powers Rd. He's open half day Saturdays and normally can do the job while you wait, boots with repack are about $40 and rebuilt ends around $80 depending on type. You'll have to take the shaft out yourself but, he doesn't have a hoist, just a lot of shafts.

Ph: 8678 0898

Hey no prob mate, I just found out he's moved the business to Pendle Hill, not sure if the phone number has changed but let me know if you try and it doesn't work I'll see if I can get the new number.

    • Yeah. I believe the fear of annealing the alloy and weakening it, Every online discussion has someone saying it's bad and potentially a risk when powder coating forged wheels.  
    • I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.
    • Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.
    • Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.
