I know...........I could drive the FTO down, take out the shafts at yours, get TURBO driven to the shaft place, get them fixed while mowing your lawn, get TURBO driven back to yours, put them back on, drive FTO home

Re: Wheel Knocking
Sounds good Bennoz.
I have'nt phoned Sydney Driveshaft again to double check tommorrow is good, he said it would be OK when I phoned on Tuesday, I guess just hope it's all good.
What time will I have to be at yours to get them out of the FTO and into the workshop in time?
Should I bring my gearbox fluid to change while the FTO is up on stands?
Should I bring some tools and stands?
Do you have a work area out of the rain?
Can you PM me your address and mobile# please?

Re: Wheel Knocking
A great big thanks to God Bennoz for helping me remove, get rebuilt and install both my drive shafts today.
We also changed my gearbox fluid and found out that I have a viscous LSD diff
Bennoz let me use his foam air cleaner cleaning kit to clean and re-oil my air filter.
Bennoz even cooked me lunch
and gave me beers
.
@ Bennoz, my driveshafts/gearbox/diff feel fantastic, no 120km/h wobble (no 180km/h wobble either
), smoother gear changes, no clunk noise when taking off, alignment is pretty damn good too (will get alignment seen to after I change my outer tie rod ends). All in all, a perfectly executed mini DIY 
P.S. What was the brand of my extractors? I want to add the info to my members ride.

Excellent! Glad it all worked well, I know how good new driveshafts feel, its almost like a new pair of shoes!

And yep, as per Taz, they're Pro Shop Iida headers
