dilbo Member 25 Member For: 9y 10m 7d Posted 20/07/15 09:32 AM Author Share Posted 20/07/15 09:32 AM after another afternoon of trying to install these shafts and getting them to fit properly may have finally found the problem, seems the new shafts may have the wrong ends on them they never seemed to fit right but after trying them in the opposite sides the shafts fit beautifully but obviously nothing will bolt up. there is huge variances between the the original and the new which seems to account for them not fitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilbo Member 25 Member For: 9y 10m 7d Posted 20/07/15 10:13 AM Author Share Posted 20/07/15 10:13 AM the drivers side/ short side will go in but comes up about 8mm far of going in the diff, other shaft fits like it should on the wrong side. between the old shaft and new there is 7mm of difference in the input part of shaft about what the shaft comes up short of going in. all other measurements on old shaft are identical to the wrong new shaft, by the looks of it the wrong end has been installed on the cv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
