Rock auto but use fed ex option , as that’s your fully landed cost , i just bought a pair of them

[aboomshanker]

Cheers Vxr, I'll look into that I take it you looked in UK but found nowt? Can see three options for 2005 Pontiac GTO 6.0L on Rock are they the ones? Seem really cheap price! Have you fitted yours yet?

I just went straight to Rock auto , I tend not to buy the cheapest one , the 05 and 06 6 litre monaro list the same part number , not fitted mine yet ,mines an 04 , get a full quote via the fed ex option and that’s your landed price , so that’s the shipping and import duties already paid , Rockauto is used a lot on here , try uk prices see the comparison , rock auto delivery normally around a week

Thanks for that Kinda forgot about it as it's non urgent. Have you fitted yours yet? And would you mind me asking how much they were all in?

Cheers

Not fitted yet , bought as mine are worn but no issues on its last mot 286£ landed which included 4 oil filters , your shafts are different to mine , on the rock auto site you can get a full price without committing to buy

Thanks again. Yeh no issues with mine yet, just a bit of movement

I'm pretty sure Pedders use to sell them

When i had an issue with my driveshafts i sent them away for recon, If memory serves me right the joint are off the VAG group and easily overhauled. Someone like Shaftec or CPS Drivelink could do the job sure it was the latter who done mine. I have a spare shaft in the shed off my CV8. I bought a second hand shaft sent it away to be overhauled fitted it then sent the one that came off away to be overhauled then fitted that one.

I had these made for me by TopCats racing. Top quality, rifled shafts as used in their race cars, with Porsche CV joints.

You missed a trick there. Should have used different size shafts to cancel out axle tramp. Still very nice

Thanks Roger. I don’t have a problem with axle tramp with these. I think the Harrop diff cover and engine steady bar you fitted have have a much greater influence.

Hi Wormus

Would you mind telling me how much they were? Expensive I'm guessing? Would they supply standared ones?

Cheers

I honestly cannot remember but they weren't cheap. I'd advise having a chat with Warren at TopCats, he's a nice guy who's likes to help. They don't have a big stock of standard parts but they can make most things.

Thanks Wormus. I shall get in touch with him in the New year
