halfshafts
Hi guys

anybody aware why >07 rear halfshafts are so expensive compared to previous models, ie. Td5?

Each is over 300GBP!!!!!

This is what you pay for Ashcroft´s HD ones. Both L&R hand.

thanks

M Puma 110" SW

Looking through microcat, the puma, and very late Td5 (from VIN 2A**** for 110, and VIN 4A**** for 90) share the same rear shafts TOB500030 & TOB500020 for both 90 & 110 and are £250.59 a piece.

however, looking at the earlier shafts, FTC4747 & FTC4748 have been replaced by the above ones, but they were only listed at £78 and £100 each (for short and long ones)

So you could use the earlier shafts (if you can still get them) and save a good bit of money, as they were just seperceded the earlier ones should fit in OK.

However.... as the later ones are considerably more expensive, you have to ask yourself are they any different? stronger maybe?

Interesting that both 90 & 110 use the same rear shafts now.... have the 90 ones been made stronger, or have the 110 ones been made weaker Shocked Shocked Shocked

Or have the averaged out the strength, so the 110's might break, and the 90 ones are only slightly stronger Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

Have seen the TOB500030-20 from 49 to 212 quid. So I guess they are just the same std LR parts. Puma 110" SW

Dave, Hi!!
You can depress the bottom number and raise the top number? (RP 4.1)
Kickdown of the bottom numbers is especially interesting (the analogue is necessary Max-drive) Def`s 90 & 110 Monochrome.

Morning Dave.

I get the impression this was translated on a website, and i think it's referring to "can the ratio be changed, from 4.1 to 3.54 or 3.2 maybe?" (raising and lowering of the top & bottom numbers Question Question )
