Afternoon all!
Ive recently had some issues when attempting to replace the front drivers side Birfield joint and Drive flange due to the splines stripping. Old drive flange was the thin type, new drive flange is the thicker (updated)? type.
Put simply the new drive flange doesnt fit.....It hits the threads on the stub axle, i checked the passenger side and there are no threads protruding and the drive flange on that side is of the thicker type. So it seems to me the stub axle is longer on the drivers side?
The problems dont stop there, i had already fitted the new birfield so just re-fitted the old drive flange, there seems to be a huge amount of in and out movement now? I fitted the new drive flange onto the passenger side as they were the same and now it pops both the end caps off when turning?!
I shall follow up with some pictures when i get back, just wondered if there was something ive done wrong!
