..because I just replaced it for a new one  Must admit I hadn't realised just how much backlash it was causing throughout the drivetrain and now it feels much more planted going into left-handers erm, quickly  The only tricky bits were trying to negotiate it 'round the back box and also locating the bolts in the threads on installation was a total PITA  A good days work though as she's also had a proper tune up with new leads, rotor, cap plugs, oil & filters etc  Thanks for tuning in!

Glad it all went well Adam. Where did you get the shaft from? |

Euro car parts job. I went for the brand new one but you can buy the re-manufactured ones. They were more expensive so I guess must be OEM. The one I got was a QDrive one so I'll let you know how it pans out. Fen I used the new bolts supplied but I had to get some moly grease as there was a packet of what looked liked general purpose stuff in the box (why bother??) Adam |

What was the grease for didn't it come assembled & packed? |

New bolts - that will be fine. They always fall off if you re-use the old ones as they are stretch bolts. |

Are we talking about driveshafts here (i.e. the things with CV joints at each end) or something else? Like a torque tube, perhaps? Oli. |
