Driveshaft Issue

[tarantula_123]

Replaced my N/S driveshaft with an oem part, but have really struggled up until now to locate a cheap one for the O/S until today, where I ordered one from Driveshaft UK.

 

I pray its the same fitment with the intermediate ball joint found on the t - sports.

 

Anybody know if is a difficult job taking this side out and what needs to be removed to do so in the process? I am looking to replace the driveshaft/gearbox seal as well.

Quick update. 

 

Got my new driveshaft today however these are still different. The set up is not correct? Any ideas or help?

That's completely the wrong one, that will be for a 1.4 or 1.6

You have equal length drive shafts, this allows a more equal distribution of the power

Please PM me your vin so i can look up the correct part

Did you find a replacement driveshaft for the right side?

Hi,

I didn't actually. 

 

I found somebody who refurbished them so took that option for under £200. I can't remember the price exactly though. 

 

I do know what ball bearing is in the middle when you split the shaft open though, so if I ever needed it in the future I would know where to buy and what to do 🙂.
