182 Driveshaft Identification and advice.

[Jordie172]

Hello, I bought a job lot of 1*2 parts. In these parts, are 2 driveshafts. I hope to refurb these with new boots etc then fit to my 2005 182. Can anyone confirm they are 1*2 shafts and that they will fit before I start???

Thanks
Jordie

I'm after an O/S driveshaft as mine is knocking. Got told to pump full of grease and hope it recovers. Would rather spend money on a driveshaft and then be done with it for a while.

P.s these look like the ones I'm seeing when I search for them.

Look like they have the non-cup-pack ABS rings on them.

I suspect a trader will be able to confirm that these are therefore 172/regular-182 chafts which will therefore not fit your "182 FF" that is stated under your avatar.

Are they the same bar the ABS rings? Can the rings be swapped?

Are they worth anything to sell on?

The OS drive shaft in gaiter looks fucked. And don't think u can change them boots

I didnt realise the joint slides. It got caught on a metal lip on my shelfing and ripped the boot. You can get the boot for £5 from eurocarparts. Since these dont fit any of my cars, theres not much point in me repairing them etc, so ill probs hoy em in the metal skip this week.

Alright nice. Bet it's a pain in the ass to fit. I might have to try it tho

Remove shaft from car. Knock outer CV off, slide inner boot up the shaft, replace CV joint, refit shaft to car.

Looks like a big job that.
