J&R Drivers side Driveshaft

[marcushookdale]

Morning Chaps, Just a quick one , My 182 BG has been in the local garage now for a fwe months, New clutch / two new driveshafts , Passengerside a shaftec and the drivers side j&r shaft, MY question is do i have to grind the little square nobby bit off on the gear box, ?.Due to j&r driveshafts being a bit fecking shite, I am due to pick the clio up next week. I would of bought a shaftec for both sides , but i couldn't find a shaftec for the divers side at the time, But in the next few weeks i'm gonna try and grab one.....Cheers for any info lads.

is it a cup/cup pack?

If so J&r ones don’t fit they are too short

 

[Krarl]

I've had 2 Shaftec ones for the offside of my 172 and both of them have had the inner boot come away from the cup, subsequently spraying grease everywhere

I told them to shove it up their arse and bought a Borg and Beck one for half the price. It's been spot on! I had to grind off the little square casting from the block but other than that the fitment is mint

It's a FF 182.
I'm starting to understand why Renault named the clio FF now..More head f**ks then

 

[marcushookdale]

The lad at the garage said he's been for a drive in it, So i'm a bit puzzled with the j&r shaft meant to be to short.

Mine were fitted by the previous owner, but I'm quite sure my shafts are J&R on my 182 FF.

Maybe mine was boxed wrong then. it was about 10-15cm shorter, i emailed them with pictures and they just said that's the only one they list

So after you emailed them, did you fit it ?

I'm can't find any o/s driveshafts for my 182, is this the item you used?

Looks like a non cup abs ring, but assume I could just put a 15mm cup one on there.

Pardon our interruption...

 

[Mr Underhill]

8200352042 is the right part number for a 182 and cup packed cars have 44 tooth ABS rings, which this also appears to have.

 

[MLB]

Picture looks like 8mm ring. But for that price I can't complain.

Much less complaining than when cleaning cv grease off the wheel, wheel arch and suspension. Twice.

Also now finding out it's all in my hair because I stuck my head in the wheel arch to check where the hole in the cv boot was😂

Says in the description 44 tooth. As you say, you can always fit one

Installed the Borg and Beck driveshaft today and looks identical to whatever brand came off, except for the 8mm abs ring. Will see if it gives any problems and otherwise just put a 15mm ring on👍

Did the ABS ring end up being okay?

 

[MLB]

Yes it was fine, done about 300 miles and a trackday and not had any issues 👍

 

[Adamm.]

Had mine fitted and seem fine but on the odd occasion under 30mph the ABS kicks in so I assume it's the narrow ABS ring which I'll get replaced. So worth knowing anyone purchasing in future to change before it's fitted to the car to save messing about.
