nwilkins83 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Hello All, My Ford Galaxy 2001 model (MKII I believe) just failed its MOT due to a split front outer gaiter. Upon removing the outer cv joint the Haynes manual also notes to remove the thrust washer and a dished washer.... Neither were anywhere to be seen! - I have checked the CV joint and no remains of either can be found inside that.... Firstly does the 2001 model have the thrust and dished washers?Secondly do I need them when reattaching everything? Many Thanks Edited September 1, 2013 by nwilkins83 Quote
nwilkins83 Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Posted September 2, 2013 Hartwell mechanic just said there diagram does not show a Thrust Washer or a Dished Washer... Interesting... Any one else had any dealing's with this? Quote
bigdave982 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 I seems to recal a washer on the mk1 driveshaft bolt Quote
nwilkins83 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Posted September 3, 2013 Thanks for your input Dave, has anyone not found the fore mentioned dished washer and thrust washer in place on the MK2 outer drive shaft when replacing the cv joint or rubber gaiter?Or was this fitted to all M2 models? cant get the spare parts from Ford, cant get a straight answer from Ford!Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez help.

bigdave982 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Posted September 3, 2013 Must have a washer of some sort else the bolthead will be pulling up directly on the hub surface Quote
nwilkins83 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Posted September 3, 2013 Dave, these washers are the other side of the cv joint, not the hub side. Quote
nwilkins83 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Posted September 3, 2013 Or rather these washers are shown in the Haynes manual as being the other side of the cv joint. Quote
nwilkins83 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Posted September 3, 2013 So nothing to do with the hub bolt washer that was in place.. Quote
bigdave982 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Posted September 3, 2013 So we are talkingcabout inside the boot? Quote
SilverBeast Posted September 3, 2013 Report Posted September 3, 2013 Perhaps this will help. From MKII Haynes manual. Couldn't see anything like this on TIS. Not taken one apart myself. I just replaced the whole driveshaft Quote
nwilkins83 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Posted September 4, 2013 Thanks Silverbeast, yes a picture paints a thousand words, washers 17 and 18 were not found to be present on my M2 galaxy.What is a TIS? Quote
SilverBeast Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Technical Information System. It's the service information DVD that Ford mechanics used to use ( it's online now of course via subscription). It's available to download from some websites. (Allegedly :D) Quote

(Allegedly :D) Anybody got an idea what website to get the TIS dvd/download. I've had a look about but probably not put the right serch criterior. Thanks Quote

(Allegedly :D) Ah thanks Silverbeast, that backs up what the Hartwells mechanic said "not shown on our drawing" I think we have to assume that these washers may not be fitted to Mk 2 models? Quote
