WH front uni failure
 

I am currently 120km outside Cobar (Wilcannia side) with a failed front drive shaft (prop shaft) CV. Is there a Ford dealer or good mechanic in Cobar?

Clarky,Looks like a Ford dealer in Cobar 0268361533 .60 Morrison street Also Evolution Mechanical repairs 0418566805 or 0437348343

Hopefully they will have a cv.
Already limped 50 km in low range with caravan in tow.
Now waiting on a flat bed, I don't want to risk damage to the transfer case.

Clancy Ford in Dubbo, plusRepco and Supercheap Just for interest what model Falcon has the same cv.Hope you get on the road again ASAP

Could you not just remove the front shaft off the TC and front diff?

Being a full time 4wd once you remove the front tail shaft you loose ALL drive.

Just got in to Cobar just in time to order an overnight delivery of a Hardie Spicer CV-860 so here's hoping it arrives tomorrow & an 860 is the right one.

My front driveshaft is making a rattling sound when accelerating and getting worse.

Rear CV joint gone about 5 mm of play, ordered new one from USA $A90 and is approx. 2 weeks away.

Should we risk driving it approx. 700klms over the next 2 weeks no towing.

(seems to be a consumable part every 90,000 2nd one now)
