Default Much Better

Alright, well I just took my car down to AAMCO and we looked at it when it was up on the lift. You can see that the tailshaft is leaking. They said worst case $400 plus tax is what I'd pay. The only things that need to be replaced are the U-Joints ($82-both front and rear U-joints and being balanced), Y-yoke, tailshaft bushing and the tailshaft seal. I think what ford was thinking of "fixing" it, was dropping the tranny, removing the whole tailshaft housing and replacing that plus replacing the driveshaft. Well screw them Is what I say. Now that i've seen it I gotta get looking around for someplace that could do it, possibly cheaper then AAMCO at $400. I wish I could do the work by myself but i don't have the time to do it. I'm gonna try Hanlon Motorsports, considering they are only about 2 1/2 hrs away. I'd still rather drive that far then pay $440 at AAMCO. Thanks guys
