How the hell does checking the tailshaft center bearing bracket take 3 hours?
replacement crossmember? So now it looks like its not the actual center bearing bracket thats breaking, but sounds like it must be shearing off the crossmember?
Welding in a new crossmember would be a HUGE job, probably requiring lifting the body off the chassis to do properly.
Last year with the 200 series chassis cracks the vehicles affected had to have the bodies removed to fix/weld up the chassis.
