Propshaft balancing and Universals

Post by N3XU5 »

Hi Guys,


I have a company in the west PTA that i want to go to to get my universals and propshaft balanced. They are charging me R850 for the whole job of installing the shaft putting the new universals in and purchasing them. Does this sound like a good price im not to sure what a good price is never had to replace uni's before.. Wanted to do them myself but dont have the knowledge or skill ..
