hey fellas as most would know the VL's have 4 bolts and 2 thick washers that are used to bolt up the tailshaft near the centre bearing, 2 are used for the mount and screw into the floor pan and 2 are used for around the strap that holds the tail shaft onto the mount. What I want to know is anyone 100% certain where the 2 thick washers are placed? on the tail shaft strap to the mount or for the mount to the floorpan?
man i should no i just removed mine about 3 hours ago lol
i put all the bolts in a pile, ill look 2morro hopefully one of the washers stayed with the nut or bolt or sumthing, and ill b able to let u no.
that would be good, I had to rip my extension housing off the trans to change the speedo gear, didnt take note of the washer positions and now I got this bad vibration through the drivline must be unbalanced as hell
oh ****! lol
maybe everyone is different cos thats were they balance them or sumthing??
like a wheel weight, u cant just put your wheel weight on the ame spot as i have mine u no.
i dunno ill have a LOOK STILL BUT YUER THATS NOT GOOD MAN COS NOW im ****ting myself.
lol if youve got a vibration, spend the $50 and get it balanced properly. will make a world of difference.
from what it sounds like youve unbolted the tailshaft from at the centre bearing, then unbolted the bracket attatched to the centre bearing itself?
it would make fk all difference where the washers are placed, they would go between the nut and the bracket, not the bracket and the body.
theyre not actually attatched to the tailshaft itself
if your that stressed just put washers on all 4 bolts..
why did you even undo bracket that for the centre bearing?
you only need to undo the 2 that attatch it to the body
yer as i found out after i undid 1, i was following instructions from an old thread on here, it said to take em out (or im a dumb **** and missread it lol).
Washers Go Under Center Brkt Between Body And Brkt To Space This May Stop It But U May Have Warn The Center Out (bearing That Holds The Brkt To Tailsharft)real Common
lol really?
ive got a VL tailshaft and never put a washer between.
never had a problem
dont think itd make any difference to how the tailshaft is balance either way??
guess i could be wrong

you may be onto something since after having another look I can see grease around the floorpan above the bearing, next question is are the centre bearings between N/A 6, turb 6 and V8 the same or did each model have a different type
EDIT: this one looks the goods, what are they like to change?
