Symptoms of a failed unit and the benefits of using a reconditioned tail shaft;

• Noise sounding from underneath the vehicle

Unusual noises coming from the un underbody of your vehicle is another sign of a faulty tail shaft. Noises will include squealing, winding or excessive rattling from underneath the floor. This noise is another symptom that the uni joint or bushes have worn out and are no longer working correctly.

• Shuddering noise and feeling under loadA sign of a faulty tail shaft is the shuddering effect a vehicle gives when accelerating from a low speed. This is generally from a failed centre bearing and the effects can be felt from the shaft all the way up into the cabin. This is another sign that your tail shaft needs replacing.
