Jr driveshaft or genuine

[BuCkLeY...]

Boot split on drivers side and vibration when u accelerate. Ktec said genuines £147 or use cheaper brand like j&r any thoughts anyone?

 

[imprezaworks]

I do and mark. Have done for a while with zero issues, £50 too

@Dr Jekyll

 

[BuCkLeY...]

Whats the difference in sizing? U both run drivers side shafts?

 

[imprezaworks]

Only the passenger. The main issue is the correct one. Mine being a 60mm bolt spacing. Best to ring them direct.

Misread your opening post, you need the drivers side.
Makes no odds though.

That's for the tag Dan, me and Mr Buckly have already spoke via PM :smile:

 

[imprezaworks]

Good stuff

 

[BuCkLeY...]

Was just checking opinions on them as at work ford ones are expensive and they seem cheap haha but saying that old one knackered so can try. Bearing sizes vary? I got 182 non cup if makes any diff?

 

[imprezaworks]

So a standard 182 with 54 mmm hubs? Not a cup packed car with 60mm

 

[Jekyll]

Always good to get other opinions mate.

@Chris_Beer Haven't you got both sides from J&R on your cup?

 

[Chris_Beer]

Indeed, still hasn't turned into a final destination film.

Mines a 172 Cup though so one piece shaft

 

[BuCkLeY...]

Thats cool ill pop round n see them not far away from me i dont think

 

[Jekyll]

Call them up to tomorrow and they'll sort you out. There pretty decent. Just make sure you don't get the boring bloke on the phone. You'll know who it is straight away as he is f**king monotone and dull Other than that, it'll all be good!

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol at final destination

 

[Ads29]

I've used them a few times now for various vehicles and never had an issue, put a pair on a heavily lowered bora a couple of years ago and it's still running fine

 

[debussetti]

Only had my J&Rs since January, but certainly seem fine.

 

[BuCkLeY...]

Pick up today still need to fit. Which abs rings fit as there two hmmm...

 

[imprezaworks]

15mm. Oh hang on, not sure on yours.

There's two sizes, I'm going to assume yours is the smaller one.

 

[BuCkLeY...]

Well dunno both in box. N box says 3 year warrenty on it even tho on ebay said 2year.

 

[BuCkLeY...]

 

[imprezaworks]

The larger one is for a cup packed car, 15mm iirc and 44 teeth.

@STEVE.M

 

[BuCkLeY...]

Woo so might not have to change round

 

[imprezaworks]

Yep. Steve will know but 99% it's good to go

 

[STEVE.M]

@STEVE.M

Correct, 15mm is for 182 with Cup pack.
Not sure why it would be included with a standard 182 shaft, as the wheel bearings have different Internal Diameters, unless they are not sure which ABS rings are fitted on what, so it`s cheaper to throw them in than post them out if incorrect.

 

[STEVE.M]

Woo so might not have to change round

One valid criticism of the drivers side shaft is that the inner CV joint boot is a trifal oversize, and can expand at speed & catch on the engine block.
It would be worth your while grinding that pointy bit off the block.

 

[Ex-User (72296)]

Let me know how you get on Buckley.. I may replace both sides soon for the sake of it. Mine is a normal 172 too.

 

[BuCkLeY...]

Well ill put shaft in couple of weeks as not free but will keep informed. So steve will i need to change abs ring?

 

[imprezaworks]

I would say not. You will soon know for sure when you remove the one on the car

 

[STEVE.M]

Well ill put shaft in couple of weeks as not free but will keep informed. So steve will i need to change abs ring?

No, yours is the 7.5mm fitted.

 

[BuCkLeY...]

Thanks mate good knowledge off top of head btw

 

[imprezaworks]

He researched them like a detective tbf

 

[Jekyll]

Yes he did!

 

[Akay]

Bumping this... have they resolved the issue with the long shaft inner joint catching the block?
