Drive shafts
« on: 19 February 2022, 10:54:07 »
Need a quick fix for the car.
Nearside driveshaft is rattling and clicking away like a person of dubious parentage.
This is the side that the shocker top sheared off last summer so not surprised really.
I have a 3.7 diff and 2 decent shafts on the breaker but due to the amount of crap around the car, only the offside shaft is easily accessible.
Are these shafts sided ?
In other words, will offside fit nearside ?

TIA  :)

Believe they're the same. Diff ratio shouldn't matter ;)

Just ordered a bearing.
Snowing now so 'dangle berries' to laying on mud to remove the shafts  ;D
Do these shafts come out easy ?

Off to look at a CR-V tomorrow morning

Indeed, I was just referring to the drive shaft ;)

If you're doing the wheel bearing, then yes you need to undo the big nut :D Once you've removed the drive shaft...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265214345392 wonder if theses will be of any use?

They're thick enough to be easily modified. Too long is much better than too short ::)
