Default URGENT: Double Cardon Driveshaft - Perth
Hey all. Just had my Double Cardon Tom Woods driveshaft rebuilt again by Final Drive and didn't pay enough attention when i picked it up. Turns out the spline is now seized solid, the pinion uni is stiff and "clunky" and one of the unis in the Cardon Joint is so loose that the cap spins inside the yolk rather than operate like the uni should.

Now I was planning to go away from Boxing Day onwards so urgently need a shaft as soon as I can. The only one I can get is a crappy Crown branded one for a rediculously festive price so at this stage I'm not going anywhere.

Any Perth people with any ideas?

It's a TJ Wrangler Rear to suit a 4" lift with a Slip Yolk Eliminator. Think I'll just grab the one off 4WD USA tomorrow morning and then fight with Final Drive to refund the $300 they charged me to service mine.

Considering pretty much all they do is build driveshafts you would think this is about as basic as it comes for them. So to say I'm not happy with their effort is an understatement.
