$80 Uni joint turns into 1500 axle...

Hey Andrew, I had drama's finding a cheap local supply of these units (for my 07) as they are different to the standard ones. Ended up getting a set from www.ringpinion.com and having them shipped from the west coast of the US of A.

They are available. Im sure you could find them cheaper but these ones came up after a quick search.

Think I'll still go the upgraded shafts but mioght as well "practice" what doesn't look too hard on the you tube videos trying to change a couple unis and keep the stock shafts as spares.

If its like the picture in the link, they are a little unusual, I have a jumbo version of them ~ about 7" across in my road grader. I was able to get replacement for it a year ago ex Melbourne.
You need to talk to a local bearing supply outlet or Dana Spicer in Melbourne. http://www.dana.com.au/contact-us.asp


Have a look at the ones on the jeep & make sure its the same.

We had these in stock, but Jambo did us out of them! More coming!

Thanks bogged, this will be handy for a lot of forum members for the future no doubt, any idea on when you will get them and a price estimate?

Cheers

Andrew

for what it's worth, i have rcv's and they have been trouble free for nearly 2 years running 37s on my rubi.

I initially upgraded just to get the car a road worthy when i bought it.

...I did a bit of searching on this too (my MY13 Rubi is turning up in about a month)...

From what I can find - and the info out there is a bit thin - from MY12 onwards the outer stub shaft and unit bearing has changed to a larger unit apparently. Struggling to find out the ACTUAL changes (larger diameter? More splines??)... just seems that the stub is 'bigger', so is the unit bearing, and the uni is 'different', but still a modified 1350.

Still digging...
