Rotate driveshafts

Post by **Raod** » 25 May 2007 09:01 pm

Hello guys.

I'm planning dismatling the driveshafts of my 360 GLT for regreasing them and stop a little noise that come from one of the CV joints. A friend told me that if the driveshafts have the same lengh is possible exchange them of side (right ds to left side - left ds to right to right). He said me that extend the life of the joints. It's possible/a good idea?

To loose the driveshaft I only have to remove the six bolts at the diff side?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.
Rafa.

Yeh you can do this and it shouldnt cause you any problems, i had a nasty knock from th driveshafts on mine when i took off so i swapped them round so it only made the noise in reverse!!

Thanks Adam.

This week I'll try to regrease them and change the side of the driveshafts. At the wheel side it's the driveshaft locked with the wheel nut or a circlip?

Also note that 360 shafts are a little beefier than 340 ones
