Hey guys av got a mk two gsi nova with a 2.0xe engine the Hirt shaft has snapped it's seemingly ment to be a 300bhp shaft how can I tell if this is correct? Also if it is that shaft where can I get a replacement? What cv joints r used on the shaft and does it require diffrent hubs?

I'm sure he means the half shaft ie the drive shaft .
Has the shaft snapped or has the CV broke ?.

I guess it depends how much torque you put through it rather than the power.

Do you actually know what driveshafts you're running??
Aftermarket? Or mish mash of GM bits?

Am
Unsure
I bought the car as it sits it
Never had the shaft when I
Bought it. I was told it was 300 bhp shafts that was all not sure about hubs etc seen on some
Sites that if u put better shafts in u hav to replace the hubs aswell

The shafts thwt were o the car where bigger diameter so the inner cv was a2, 0 cv and then the shaft thinned out to compensate for the 1-6 outter cv ijuwt got a set of bigger shafts to find this out
