Defeneder has spline outer end but appears to be part of the CV joint. Looks to me like you may need to have something machined.

nickm Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 oh ok wouldnt fitting an lsd on the front been a better option and about the same sort of cost (dont know what you paid for fwh and shafts) atleast u would of had 2 wheel drive on the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredenewman Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 it would be the better optiom to fit lsd orlocker but i did the whole job for under 100 quid the lsd or locker w ould have been 5 times that theres a lot of beer tokens inbetween the two if i was competing i would fit lockers but just for fun i cant justify it and my mates wont keep me in beer when im skint cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
