@Davyy Yes, exactly as @oreA mentioned! Piss easy! Even you can't muck it up! ;)

That I like to hear :)

Hero man! Will come to more now Ian is in charge. Because he's awesome! :D

Thanks Scott. Always a worry when you want to fit something quite important and are unsure. Thanks Martin for checking also. Clarified your not going mad!

After looking at it again, the chap at work said it was a weight, not a support bearing.

If you get a min, could you double check for me @Martin. if you wouldn't mind?

Yeah I think he will. I've sent him a message. I will be over he's this weekends as he's fitting the other side, plus clutch, so it would be a perfect time to change both shafts.

I was told it's a center bearing to help support the shaft? Normally get them with longer shafts? Hopefully someone can clarify before I send it back, as it would be nice to fit both the driveshafts this weekend?

These and the normal vxr ones looks so much better than the new face-lift ones. They look crap and nothing overly special imo. These look more aggressive.

@imprezaworks Any pics of your one you ordered?

Got the new driveshaft turned up from J&R today. Quick delivery considering I only ordered it yesterday. Comes with the bigger ABS ring too which is cool. I did notice it's slightly different to my old/current one. The one I have has a coupling over a rubber that's halfway down. Can...

You been the subject of that on yours too mate! @Arran_

Sometimes it's just easier to change parts, if other parts connected to it are being removed. Car has done 113k now and being a daily, it needs to be working. I can borrow my missus car but, always nice to have both cars working! Having the workshop does help. Thankfully we can be there...

I chose to have non sports ones too as I couldn't stand the stickiness. A few pics of comparison. Sticky sport ones. And the non sport, non sticky ones.

I did see the r888s. Happy days then mate as the total Inc tyres and refurb is a bargain :)

I changed my front bearings over this weekend as well John. Mine still whines which makes me think it's the rears, but they aren't even a year old. Saying that's, I did have a issue a while back of the rear hub bolts being loose so I think k that hasn't helped. Friggin' cars eh?

Look pretty decent in that pic. I've never really liked these wheels but they are track wheels so I suppose it doesn't matter as much. Obviously that's my views but it is your car!

Done on a hunter kit? Or old skool way?

GSF do them. I have them on mine and have been fine. You'll need the 12mm holes/bolts. 10mm is the non sports.

Tbh I said that I want to keep it maintained as its a daily and do a few mods along the way. I think im still on that track..... I think.

I don't know about top work, more pain in the arse work! Tell me about it. Winter and white wheels don't match. The problem is I work on a farm and the drive in and out is always mucky if it's been wet. I had to continue mate. I'd already gone past the point of no return! These are set now...

Glad the car passed! Looks great on that last pic, parked outside the garage.

ED aren't a million miles away from you either. @Barnett182

Looking at that, I can't see that happening. Itll be very tight for space if that's the case. How comes the need to change? Has it ripped?

I do love a pic Steve! I'm glad it's all done now. As i said to emily and a few guys at work, yes it's taken me longer than someone who's done it but I've now done it and glad I did. I like to have a go at things if I'm semi confident. I'm not a mechanic mind. I mean, If I'd let a garage do...

As in the sleeve that goes in between the spring and the piston? Cant see how you remove that from the top as the top mount is holding that on?

So i started to remove parts for the hub removal. I had left the components soak in 3in1 penetrating spray while the other side was being done. As the parts had not long been changed, everything still had plenty off copper grease from the previous fitting. Track rod outer, ball joint, hub nut...

Had a few issues this weekend..... So my plan was to fit my front bearings. Had a browse on the forum and on youtube and thought i'd give it a go as id never done it one one of these before. Turned out it could have gone better! This was all over the space of the weekend, not all in one hit...

Standard CSF tbh.

I'd say cage as you'll probably be waiting 4 months for the AST's!
