Drive Shafts

Post by Essex Nige »

Are Syncro drive shafts the same as normal T25 shafts? i only ask as i'm thinking of doing all my CV joints, but doing 1 off 1 on so the van will always be able to go, and while doing the CV's i was thinking of doing wheel bearings

The rears are the same as 2wd but the fronts are just for a syncro. The CV joints are the same both outer and inner for the rears and inner on the fronts but the outer fronts are a syncro part, same with the CV boots.
