driveshafts are parallel
hi all  ive just fitted everything to my saxo the drive shafts are in line with the hubs on the de dion. is it possible to move the diff forward to
give the shafts a bit of an angle as ive heard its bad to run them inline. or is it a bad idea thanks.

Ideally the half shafts should point down when the car is empty so when loaded they are parallel.

You will not be running them in line, unless you are planning on having no suspension . Propshafts to fixed diffs should have angles in them, but
drive shafts are moving just about all the time as the suspension moves.
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

oadomo, just had a look i your archive.
is that diff bracket a mockup, cos it will need to be much stronger.
Just to save you breaking it!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion

You are thinking of propshaft UJs
Driveshaft CV joints are a different principle, the suspension plunging will prevent them wearing in a fixed position.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
