Hi folks
I have just rebuilt my swivels etc. One stub has obviously been run with broken bearings and only the outer part of the half shaft. It was buggered inside and out.
I ordered a new one and second hand half shaft. However the new stub where the half shaft goes through from the swivel housing end ( inner side) is a conical profile whereas the original has a shoulder about an inch in, matching the shoulder on the outer half of the half shaft. When I put this together and checked for rotation it catches the conical part before full lock. I have tried complaining but britpart say they have never had this problem. This if it didn't stick and break the UJ's would mill away at the metal and drop swarf into the swivel housing
Anybody else had this problem or know the solution

Am getting refunded from the supplier. But I do worry as it only affects it at full lock nearly, as to how many people are driving around slowly building up swarf in their swivel. I got the supplier to contact britpart but they said they are correct spec. Oh well. She's an s reg. So should be right part I think. Anyhow has anyone used the britpart parts for the timing? Any good? Is turner engineering different parts.? Should I start a new thread to ask this?
