VU UTE (Ghost)

[ozeholden]

Hey guys well haven't done much to the ute has my back has been killing me go the last 2 weeks or so now, ok now but haven't been able to do shot all till now,

Basically have found that the diff is fine after all, the noise is coming from the tailshaft, the center bearing has gone completely so is flapping around etc, will be getting a new one fit it next week or so, but also have found that the rear left wheel hub has gone also so up for a replacement for one of those also, apart from that just been resting an enjoying BF4 multiplayer on pc till my back gets become better.

Hey guys, getting back into the ute, currently just put the stock spring back in (still left front to do) and man it's a 4x4, hate it but its only temp to get through RWC and Rego, will be getting the tailshaft centre bearing fixed next after this.

She looks good for a cheap ute there mate. Have fun with the tailshaft centre bearing. I had to replace the pulley-idler in mine yesterday after when the bearings gave up. They were the original ones as well. Not bad for 240,000kms.

Hey peeps, not alot has happened over the months, had to use me brake I got for the ute for the sedan has they were getting low and rough (more important with 3 kids in the back daily), recently got some new lights for the trailer which has gotten my interest back into the ute (stupid computer got better of me ), so after the school holiday should see some more updates on it.
