Okay here's my issue:
At the moment have an Audi TDi longitudinal 'box and equal length driveshafts all as standard from the Audi 80.
I don't want 4x108 hubs as it's a terrible size, and making my own is out of the question.
I'm led to believe Golf MK2 used the same driveshaft splines, at approx 34 spline, 26mm OD, but again 4x100 isn't much better, and as it is i'll need driveshaft spacers due to to track width increase.
So, what cars have equal length driveshafts, would quattro/syncro etc rear driveshafts be strong enough? (Target is a well modified inline 5 TDi)
Or passat, they had a FWD engine the wrong way around in the B5's i think?
Can't really use 2 of the same side or the bolt will unscrew itself i assume
-
can use same side... but i think the drivesaft dimeters for spines and such different... going to have to play with parts...
-
WE did a car with a Porsche 944 transaxle, narrowed cradle,and two short side shafts to match the narrow car.
-
hmm well of the few driveshafts i've had they splines have all been the same so far, but surely there's a reason why you get a left hand and a right hand thread in them?
Did you use off the shelf driveshafts for that then?
Don't want anything custom or joining driveshafts incase i go and break one, would want to be able to buy another at any local parts place
-
no left hand/right hand that i can say ive ever seen on vw/audi cvs...

Early CGT and 4K used 4x100 bolt pattern..
just use those spindles..
