shafts and number of splines

[Lee]

Another way to tell is the shafts with the 22 spline inners have a balancing weight on the middle of the longer one. In most cases anyway.

[Philsutton]

or look at the cv joint itself , its easy to see which are which without taking apart

[Adam]

We need pics.
There was some a while back, but cant find them.

[Philsutton]

yes indeed, about half the shafts I see on ebay are not 22 spline

[Lee]

Agreed. Even scrappies are none the wiser. When steve ordered his, we ended up with 28 spline shafts instead which fecked us up completely!

I normally look for the balance weight on ebay, if its missing its a good shout its the wrong shaft.

[Philsutton]

Do you know why that is? Its because most people wil count the number of splines on the outer part of the cv joint ( the on that goes into the hub). Ah that brings back memories of 30mins of my life I will never get back, tried to explain this to someone over the phone an they were what can only be described as truely stupid.

[Welsh Dan]

My 1.2 shafts originally had the balancing weight though Lee...

[Philsutton]

someone get pics an all will become clear

[matthew172]

ive got both, a set of gte shafts and a set of 1.4 shafts, ill put them side by side and take a pic, a set of gte 22 spliners is easy spotted without even removing the cv joint

[Adam]

Aye, the cv's a different type.
I just cant actually see the difference in my head, so pics are required Lol
