corsa XE shafts

[draper]

what shafts do you use for putting a XE in a corsa ??

[Welsh Dan]

Corsa GSI/TD ones?

If I remember correctly, you can use the shafts from an astra/cav/cally including the equal length shaft setup aswell.

[Dod]

Surely they're too long.

The TD/GTE Shafts work on a Nova but as far as I know the Corsa Shafts are longer.

[draper]

corsa shafts are longer than nova ones, wasnt sure if they were the same length as cav ones ones tho, i thought cav ones might be longer again ???

[Dod]

They are. I know Astra GTE items are around 1" shorter than the Cav ones again, but i couldnt say that'd fit.

[BIGS]

all corsa , mk3 cavs , mk3 astra and calibres all have the same lenght shafts. but only in the 2ltr ones you can use for the corsas.

[Dod]

So If i take a Cav Shaft from a 2.0 it'll fit into my 2.0 Corsa? Arent the Hubs different?

so mk3 cav shafts will work on a corsa so long as there from a 2ltr cav ??

beat me to my next question lol

[draper]

after some research ive found out you can use the cav mk2 inners on standard corsa shafts ??

or 2.0 astra ones

[ck]

right, on a corsa u need gsi shafts (22spline) with mk2 cav 1.6 inners.

or you can use any big block shafts from either a cavalier/astra mk3, calibra. just you need the conversion/big block hubs obviously as the big block shafts have bigger cv joints..

best bet is to use an equal length setup. ive got a set if u cant find any.

[hendrix]

my mate had a calibra equal length set up on his Corsa XE, using big block hubs

[Dod]

right, on a corsa u need gsi shafts (22spline)

GSi Corsa items??

[ck]

yes, nova shafts are too short, they can be used but u gotto put spacers behind the out cv joint and its dodgy, kills wheel bearings for a pass time.

for a corsa, its Corsa GSi shafts (22 spline) or the astra mk3/cavalier/calibra big block shafts

[kingy-gsi]

cav mk 2 inners and corsa 16v shafts there sortedd:)
