Drive Shafts
Turbo Mini Forums

Is it possible to get them the wrong way around? I mean left one on right and right one on left? I noticed my pot joint had slid out the other day dispensing oil. I havent really had time to check, just thinking of any reasons with it would have moved.

The only fit one one side. the most likely cause it the retaining clip on the end of the diff output shaft is missing.

Ones about 3" longer than the other.

As Ben said, check the circlip on the spline of the output shaft, one of mine came loose and I double checked the circlip, looked ok but was actually in 2 pieces with a film of oil holding it together!

A friend recently got the shafts the wrong way round, as in the outer C.V end in the pot joint end. The car drove but after a mile or so the shaft came out of the pot joint.

If it a'nt broke don't fix it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I havent had a prob to that extent, just my pot slid from the gearbox just enough to leak oil.
