corsa cv joints

[Steve]

Hi all ive bought a corsa redtop and im told it has the motorsport big driveshafts, am I right in thinking they use 2.0 inner cv's and standard corsa outers? Mine was originally a 1.4 sport.

Thanks.

It doesn't use astra gte ones as I found out. My inner cv joint died last weekend I tried replacing it with a astra gte but no good can amyon else throw some light on this as I have the same problem!!

Sounds like its got 22 spline inners and 1.6 driveshafts as the motorsport shafts should use big block outers with machined hubs to suit them.

What inner cv are used with motorsport/m-tech shafts then??

sorry but need to try and order one by the weekend

IIRC they are big block vauxhall ones IE astra cav calibra

So any std xe'd car apart from an astra GTE??

[comptoncj]

Yeah the astra gte ones should be ok too

Already tried an GTE one and it wasn't right to small.
