WTD bolt-on driveshaft
Charlie_Zetec - 30/5/11 at 10:17 PM

I'm looking for a bolt-on driveshaft suitable for 3.62 Sierra LSD.

Only need the one, and doesn't have to be in good condition as I plan to strip down and overhaul.

Ideally in or close to Essex, but may consided further afield subject to postage costs.

Thought I'd ask here before trawling eBay....

which side ? - they are different lengths

I've got both, but only 1 pair of CV's for them - I'm about 400miles away though

Which side, as above, different lengths, but also the CV into hub has different threads.

Should've gone into more detail really!

I stripped down my driveshafts for an overhaul, but the joints aren't up to scratch. I had one shaft N/S with a sloppy (excessively worn) inner but good outer, and the O/S had a good inner but outer had damaged housing.

I decided to make one good shaft out of everything I had - I assumed all the joints were the same. Have I made a schoolboy error there?

Essentially I'm looking for two joints rather than the shaft itself.

all 4 joints are the same on the bolt-on ones [aka lobro's] as far as I know

the only important thing is to fit them the right way round

there is a thin line scribed round the outside of the CV joint - this needs to go to the ends/outsides of the shaft (if that make any sence)

oh and this is what I've got spare: (click for a massive pic )


2 joints in need of a clean (didn't seem to worn to me...)
the 4 copper circlips and the lock washers to fit them

gavin174 has some but may only want to sell a pair, he is in Chelmsford.

hi Charlie

I do indeed have a few sets of bolt on driveshafts, but dont want to split a set

I do however have some spare lobros

let me know if its the complete set up or just the joints you are after

cheers Gavin

Gavin,

Just after the lobro's - ideally need two ends to make a complete shaft.

Let me know how much you want for them!
