driveshaft (halfshaft?) compatibiltiy
My kit car has custom length drive shafts due to the off centre diff mounting running standard 1.8 cv joints (push in type). I fancy switching to a flange type cv as it will make pulling the diff easier if/when needed (not much working room).
I understand the 1.8 push in and flange types are compatible as a complete assembly but what about the shaft itself - is that identical? |
Are you asking if you can take the CV's apart and swap them over? I think thats possible but I want to say that the 94-95 axles have shorter shafts because the flange takes up more length.
|
Mazda's parts catalog lists a different number for the early ('94-'95.5) shaft that goes with the flange vs. the later one (''95.5+) that goes directly into an inner CV joint.
So the short answer is that, no, they are probably not interchangeable. |
Oh well thanks for the replies. Yes that was the idea leafy. I might buy a buggered one off eBay just to check. Need to replace a cv anyway but looks like ill stick with the push in ones
|
I stuck with the push in CV's. For the record (because I heard otherwise on another forum) you can strip and rebuild both ends of the cv without any special tools (other then circlip pliar).
