What is needed to fix this probelm, is there a bearing inside the tailshaft housing or what is needed to fix this problem, it causes the car to vibrate pretty bad and it is also causing a leak at the tailshaft area as well, I know it is not the seal because I have already replaced it. Any tips on what exact parts are needed to fix this issue, I am fairly sure I can do the work myself.

Thanks

it's a brass tailshaft bushing that you need.....easiest way to replace one is remove the tailshaft housing

yeah thereis a bushing....t5 tailshafts are not as easy as aod's

imo the trans needs to be out, but some say no

Thanks guys, anyone know where to get the bushing and exactly what to look for?

I looked at the parts break down and there is no reference to the bushing at all. I want to get the part ordered but I am not sure I can if I don't have any part number or anything like that.

i just had my tailshaft bushing, seal, and frount U JOINT fixed.

they said the ujoint killed the bushing




as far as i knw ford is the only ppl with the bushing, and many DONT CARRY IT, AND IS A SPECIAL ORDER.


after thinking it was the seal, and having that go, then do thouse 3 the next day, it was a very painful angry experence, lol, but the car is tip-top now, no more vibration, or leaking.


try thouse asap!

Thanks guys, do I just remove the tailshaft housing and replace the bushing, or is it a very involved situation? I will be ordering that part today or tomorrow.
