Half shaft was created by jimnyonhigh
Hi all

Just a newbie question :unsure: i need a new half shaft for the front left passenger side.
Is the half shaft shorter on the left than on the front right drivers side ?
I understand the CVS are the same.
Also i need to get hold of the hidden clip that holds in the half shaft and CV, anybody have a part number and a website which sells them.


Thank you

Cheers Marky! Regarding the clips, do you need to put a new one in each time you change the Half shaft/CV ? I am not sure if these break when you take the clip away or if its recommended to put a new clip in place.
I would only assume you don't because there is not any on the site for sale.
If one is needed please could somebody point me in the right direction or is it something most mechanics would have in the workshop ?
