Guy, just wondering if someone can help me out here, what figures are important on the outer CV when fitting stuff together, I know the teeth or spline count are obviously important, but what about the number of "gaps" as portrayed in these pics? One is from an AE92 sedan and one from a GTS...
I don't know much about cv axles, and how they fit. I was talking to a friend last night and he said basically if you have the inner joint in already, and the outer fitted, then it shouldn't be hard to find a shaft that works and fit them together, but I don't exactly know how it all fits together. I know that the the splines on the inner/outers work, but I am not sure how to fit the shaft. I won't personally be fitting them together, I have a mechanic that does any work I am not familiar with, Basicly I just need to know what I can use so I can look for shorter lengths.
