    Default A70 driveshaft centre bits are stuffed, where do I get new ones

    There's a good 1cm of play in my centre bearing.
    Is there anybody in oz who does a reproduction that won't cost the earth for shipping?
    Or do I have to go stateside and deal with paying postage?

    -edit-
    It's an 86.5 7MGE.

    Threw away a good one last week
    Think you can get them aftermarket easily, I know you can for MX83's so cant see a MA70 being any harder to buy.

    Know of any shops that do them down here?
    All I find is murican places.
    If anyone's got a spare one kicking around used, I'll take that.
    Just something to give it a little more life.

    Northern Beaches.
    As cheap as possible is definitely preferred, lol.
    What about one piece shafts? Are they cheap at all here?
    I'm just starting to get involved with the wonderful world of the A70, and I don't know much at all about them.

    I contacted CBC Bearings but they weren't able to help me.
    Any other ideas?

    I am surprised cbc said they cant help as they quoted me $190 for one. The place I actually bought mine from was here http://www.nepeanspareparts.com.au/ cost me about $150 from memory and looks like they do online ordering now. If you go through my build thread on here I think I have a photo of it.

    Alright, thanks.
    I think I might just get one from America though. There's one for $31 US with $41 shipping, that comes out cheaper even after the exchange rate.
    Would like to shop local but money talks.
    Thanks for the help though.

    At $31 what kind of quality do you honestly hope to get.

    Something that doesn't have 1cm of play in it... Anything is going to be better than the one currently in the car. It comes with a one year warranty and I'm not really planning to keep the car past that.

    Perfect!
    Did you buy in-store or have to do a special order?
