I believe RGA are indeed the guys for this. I looked into this a while ago as it's on my to-do list. I think they have them on the shelf so you just drop off your one and pick up the replacement at the same time.

The bearings within the tube. Augment Automotive (berlyn services) came back to me today and will be shipping me out a freshly refurbished unit within the next couple of weeks.

How much mileage do you have to come across this issue? It's quite a task to remove the torque tube from the car. Was thinking of removing it from the car to eliminate surface rust & paint.

Noise from the near side rear which sometimes sounds like a wheel bearing. I had the wheel bearing replaced and the car was quieter but I now can hear a different sound from the rear and I get vibration from the centre of the car at speed.

I have not removed mine yet so I don't know what it full entails but the gearbox is going to have to come off at least.

Mine makes a bit of a grumble too... engine on in neutral clutch up vs clutch down is very obvious! I'll live with it for now though :?

For taking off the TT, edreadas has a good 4 part series on youtube for changing the clutch which of course includes having the torque tube out.

Episode one here:
