Nice one! Any idea how many miles they've done? How much do you want for them? |

No idea but they look intact and didn't seem to have much play in them, you can inspect if you want. £50 the pair. |

Just as advisory I'd wash through & put fresh grease in before fitting s/h ones. Also the bolts are stretch bolts & should be replaced when changing them. You'll need some carb or brake cleaner to wash the bolts out BEFORE trying to undo otherwise you'll deffo knacker the bolts. |

dj - sorry for late reply mate. I've just discovered I don't have the correct tool to remove the driveshafts. I'm now also wondering if the noise is something else, as I've just been out for a spin (while the car was cold) and I didn't hear any noises at all. I've put the question out on my other thread - click click clicking. But otherwise, £50 is fine. Jim - thanks for the good advice mate. I've had a look underneath to check if I have the correct tool and I don't. But I see what you mean about the dirt in the bolts and I should imagine (after 24 yrs) they will be tricky to undo. |

I've got the right tool; most car accessory shops will have them - cheese head or triple square splined bits; I had them here already having needed them for another car I had years ago. As for them being difficult, I didn't have any problem undoing them from the car I had, but then your mileage can vary on things like that. They are decent-quality fasteners though so shouldn't be too bad, hopefully. |
