[QUOTE="OX1, post: 16792907, member: 175132"] I actually did order a QA1 carbon fiber that was $200 off for July 4th sales. Summit has 90 day return, in case I figure out a way to fix this stock shaft. Everything I find claims this driveshaft it "not serviceable". So far, this is what I'm trying. Mainly to verify that the recent huge vibration I have over 90, goes away, before mounting a $1600 driveshaft and it doesn't fix it. I marked all three connections with orange paint to re-install exactly like it came out. No nut to remove on CB flange, so it must be a really tight press fit. [IMG]http://luxjo.supermotors.net/MUSTANG%20GT/DRIVESHAFT/CARRIER%20BEARING%20BUSHING/20220703_083030.jpg[/IMG] Hard to see, but there is nothing but hollow tube looking down hole inside flange that would need to be pressed off to change CB and rubber bushing. So the idea of using some form of puller is out. [IMG]http://luxjo.supermotors.net/MUSTANG%20GT/DRIVESHAFT/CARRIER%20BEARING%20BUSHING/TWO/20220705_112559.jpg[/IMG] So there is a tac weld on both brackets. [IMG]http://luxjo.supermotors.net/MUSTANG%20GT/DRIVESHAFT/CARRIER%20BEARING%20BUSHING/TWO/20220705_111401.jpg[/IMG] Ground those off and got brackets off bushing. [IMG]http://luxjo.supermotors.net/MUSTANG%20GT/DRIVESHAFT/CARRIER%20BEARING%20BUSHING/TWO/20220705_112026.jpg[/IMG] Rubber does not look ripped or cracked in any way. I think Ford just made it too soft to begin with. Hard to believe I could not find more info on these failing, if mine was this bad at this low mileage. [IMG]http://luxjo.supermotors.net/MUSTANG%20GT/DRIVESHAFT/CARRIER%20BEARING%20BUSHING/TWO/20220705_112038.jpg[/IMG] Ended up getting some 1/4" X 3/4" rubber strip from McMaster Carr. Luckily, they have a jersey warehouse about 12 miles down the highway from me. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.mcmaster.com/1462N26/[/URL] High temp, up to 500F and durometer 50 (so medium hardness) [IMG]http://luxjo.supermotors.net/MUSTANG%20GT/DRIVESHAFT/CARRIER%20BEARING%20BUSHING/TWO/20220705_170047.jpg[/IMG] I was able to "shim" the stock rubber bushing all the way around with this rubber strip. [IMG]http://luxjo.supermotors.net/MUSTANG%20GT/DRIVESHAFT/CARRIER%20BEARING%20BUSHING/TWO/20220705_170058.jpg[/IMG] All together with bolts holding it for now.
