AAZ drive shafts
« on: September 28, 2009, 06:04:35 am »
Hey there guys, Just had a 1.9 AAZ conversion in my jetta including gearbox but have had to use the Drive shafts from the vento as they are 100mm not 90mm like the jetta, Would this cause me any vibrations when driving, as thats what is happening,

Cheers for that, we thought the same, but they aint cheep to do, Is it easy enough to do at home or is it better to get a garage to do that sort of thing!

Well you'll need one or more new CV joints. It's usually just easier to buy a new axle. They're about $100 so that's like 50 pounds?

Well if its $100 that normaly means about £100 lol, but i think you are right may as well get the complete thing rather than the bits as they are not cheap!

Well that's canadian. I just checked out the conversion and it should be about 60 GBP.
