Re:I managed to crack the ABS ring! :)

Hi Hun.

I am thinking of getting a Trailmaster 50 mm lift kit and any comments you can supply on yours would be appreciated.

Cheers.

If I were to keep this shaft/setup then I would strip down and weld up the scars instead of filling with adhesive. Then I would get it re-shaped in a lathe with a precision metal fabrication firm. Yesterday I finally decided to go down the route of fitting a full floating axle setup. :evil: It will cost much more than I thought so I need to be careful with my spendings... Luckily I have a second car so I'm not in a rush to sort this out.

Hi there,

To put it in a nutshell: disappointment continues....

We have changed all parts and assembled both sides "as it is written in the big book", quality parts were used and now ran around 5-6 hundred kms and oil started leaking now from the right side :sick: :sick: :sick:

Now I am speechless, cannot imagine where the problem might be. And it appeared on the opposite side compared to earlier. And now we dis the repair, so cannot blaim any technican that something was not done properly.

Yes, there were grinding marks on the shaft surface and there are new ones that I did cut myself, but they are not going completely through and just for that I have placed sealant on top of the abs ring around the shaft.

Now, we need to find out something else....

But no real idea.

Is the axle shaft or the axle casing bent?

Also check the axle breather. If it is completely blocked the pressure build up could be enough to initiate a leak.
