Title: Wanted Series Front Axle stuff! Failed my MOT :(
Post by: Petes_Series on August 30, 2017, 05:31:16 PM
So I've failed my MOT due to Axle swivel joint having excessive play on both sides

When I bought it everything outside the Axle case was a single fused mess so I have lasted as long as I can.

I suppose I can cut the bolts off the Axle case and start again or just get a whole new Series front Axle

Does anyone have a decent Front Axle for sale or all the parts for sale for a front axle?

I've seen Dave has some parts and I have asked him but still missing some things.

Would you not consider rebuilding it? Its easy enough and all parts readily available.

Yup... Axle seems a bit of a long shot.

So seeing what parts people have lying around

I have a complete front axle lying here ( Callander) .... not sure what state its in, the swivels are in good condition if that's an indicator.
