yes loads do it but it strains the bearings as one is a little to long.

The driveshafts don't mate to the hubs You got the CV to do that.... I'm going to use Cossvaux ones, but you can get away with Astra ones for a while, some people are lucky and they work fine, others have found that the astra shafts damage the wheel bearings becuase they are slightly too long.
