Borg Warner Rear Axel with Propshaft

[t.onyb 31]

Borg Warner - South Africa Ford 

 

This Rear Axel and propshaft was from a 

1975 - South African Ford Cortina MK3

It was a 3.0 Litre XLE - 4 door saloon.

 

One of the shafts has a buckle and makes a whining noise. Gave the car a slight wobble when traveling.

 

I did try to repair this but failed miserably. So ended up replacing for a recon Atlas.

 

I am no mechanic and the garages I went to also proved to be as useless.

Especially JD Classics in Chelmsford, Essex.

 

All I know is this:-

 

The shaft has 23 teeth which run 50mm along shaft

The shaft has a total length of 740 mm with a 25.4 diameter

 

I’ve been told the diff has a ratio of 3.1 :1

But equally told the ratio could also be 

3.44:1 or 3.45:1

 

Sorry I haven’t a clue which is correct - so please don’t take this information as gospel, a guide at best

 

Open to offers

 

Happy to answer questions and send more pictures if needed - anything more I can’t help!!

 

Collection only from Barking - East London

Easy access from M25, M11, A406, A13

An indication of price might help interested parties, I'm sure someone will be interested.

 

If you don't mind me asking, how much was the reconditioned Atlas......was it bought from an axle specialist/private seller or did you buy it and then have it overhauled ? (PM if you'd rather not broadcast the cost involved ?)
