Drive shaft shop inn SOCAL

Well I heard a squeek today so I decided to look at the drive shaft turns out about half of the needle bearings in the centering ball is shot.

I need to know a place I can get my drive shaft rebuilt asap.


Thanks

Scott

Some of us have spares you know. Buy you a little time. It also helps if we know which end cause you ain't doing nothing until Monday.

When you're ready, the place to go is Drivelines Incorporated. Wade King does a great job and is a very nice guy.

They are in Irvine right behind the Irvine Auto Center.

949-951-9673
6 McLaren Street, Suite M
Irvine, CA 92618

Well Jeff


now that you bring it up........

I bet the loose bolts on the shaft had something to due with the failure.


if I remember right you are the person dumb enough to help me put it on when I was slightly dissabled. Even after listening to me bitch about doing it my self.

So I guess some how this is your falt damit



Scott

PS
Blaine already has the broken shaft and helped me out.

I knew this would somehow be my fault!!!

It was probably those two pinhead kids you loaned it to on the Rubi!!!

And good God man - it's fault!!!



We need to go wheeling soon Scott - I need some aggression in my life

I remember some one saying if it broke that they would get me a new one well IT BROKE so give Blaine a call so he can decide what you owe him


Scott

Wheeling sounds good soon but something on the easy side like BB or LCIR just to get out.

Scott,

I've had good results from Orange County Driveline, in Placentia (57 at Orangethorpe, across from the Sams/Home Depot)

They'll be lengthening the rear on mine when the Klune goes in. I'll shorten the front myself.

Having finally gotten everyone moved into the new house this weekend, that sounds good to me too Scott. Here's another possibility... a run to do Doran and Odessa at Calico mid-January has been mentioned by a few on ramj+w, how does that sound to you? BB sounds good too though, especially since I've never run BB. I'm anxious to try the new MT/R tires and 4.88 gears just about anywhere, that's for sure.

However, I never made a guarantee about it breaking due to the fact that it hadn't seen a grease gun in over a year!!!

I think I gave you an outtasite warantee - when you are outta sight - you are outta warantee....



I've got a buddy that's been dying to get his feet wet in his Discovery and I told him I'd take him on Deep Creek soon. Of course, now I'm sure there is snow.

Deep Creek is fun in the snow.

Let me see if I can getthe cabin up in running springs as a stop off point when we are done for a hot drink and dry clothes change.

when I find out I will post on the get out section.
