the driveshaft assembly goes all the way from the diff in the gearbox and through the front hub as 1 solid lump with 2 joints on it (unless you leave the end in the box when you take the engine/box off, but that's another story) | |

I think we're discussing terminology for something that is one and the same assembly... :lol: | |

correct - prob been 'threaded' against the thread - and needs tapping (bot with a hammer lol) so the bolt screws into it fine | |

quote: Also the thread... The wheels don't bolt onto the disc, they bolt THROUGH the disc and into the hub... if the thread on the hub is screwed (excuse the pun) then that's a bit more work... Sure it's just not mis-threaded and you've forced it? | |

As long as the pin can't come out the hole it goes through you'll be fine... | |

looks horrible, sure the pin would be ok bent round the other way, wont come loose, and theres no reason for the shaft to be as long as it was, got told from shops to angle grind a few mm off it, and ppl on here | |

loose the centercaps, not 1/2 the threads on your driveshaft or the locking pins | |

also noticed on 1 of my front wheels the threads are fucked in 1 of the holes and the bolt wont go right in no matter what, wont turn any further, hope it will be ok, need to try get hold of some better discs or sumit, | |

grinded it very far back only a couple of threads still sticking out, dont think it will need re threaded either, just need to know will it be ok with that pin bent round the side of it? if i bend the pin back around the font (where it originally was) then the pin presses on the center cap |
