niallsan Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 Hi all. Anyone bought driveshafts from J&R ( driveshafts and cv joints) on fleabay? They are really reasonably priced. Would they be worth a shot??I replaced both inner cv joints with the Polish ones last year but the wobble is back...:P ..... Any ideas re new wobble. Is it the same problem i.e cv joints?Actually I see the same inner cv joints from J&R for about £30, about a third of the price of the Polish ones, damn it!!!!!!N. Quote
sparky Paul Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 Not Galaxy related, but I bought a complete driveshaft for a Clio from J&R a few years ago. I was suspicious of the very low price, but it's been absolutely fine and I would buy from them again. Unfortunately, the rest of the car is a pile of junk. :P Quote
SilverBeast Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 I bought one for mine and fitted it 2-3 weeks ago and done about 600miles since (camping holiday towing a trailer). I will use them again. There are details and pictures here - sorry Seatkid it's on the "other" (I believe you called it the Mutineers) Forum. :P It got rid of a minor vibration I had had at around 20mph in any gear since I bought the car. Just be aware the stretch bolt was a 17mm Hex with the new shaft and a 27mm socket on the original. It's due a service and I will probably replace the offside soon as I believe the CV boot is probably split on that side too judging by the amount of grease. I need to get a better 1/2" drive "lever" so I don't break my torque wrench again oing the +90degrees. Unfortunately I think I need the transfer shaft too as there seems to be some backlash at the moment and gear selection is a bit baulky and crunchy unless you change gear if you try to change in anything other than a relaxed fashion.

niallsan Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Posted August 7, 2012 Thanks for those replies. I'd say thier driveshafts might be worth a try alright- 2 for under €100- if I get them I'll update and let ye know how I got on.N. Quote
t-aslam Posted November 15, 2013 Report Posted November 15, 2013 I just bought a pair of driveshafts from j&r, they sell a pair for Quote
xavier Posted November 17, 2013 Report Posted November 17, 2013 Did you have the tracking re-done afterwards? Quote
t-aslam Posted November 17, 2013 Report Posted November 17, 2013 Nope. Didn't think tracking issue would cause car to tremble. Or does it? Quote
