Tom - a while ago (like 4 years) I got a recon LH driveshaft from Kimber Friction (which are now in Bond Street - not a million miles from Freeborn) Cant remember the make now. - Thye may still do them.
Presumably its the ABS ring that stops us getting for example a Peugeot shaft and changing the joints over and using our original and hopefully straight shaft. The problem here is presumably that Peugeots use a coarser ring for a different ABS system.
I may have got it wrong - as I haven't had a great deal to do with the drive shafts - but do know that the outer one comes off with a sharp tap with a (copper of course) hammer. Presumably the inner one does the same.

Peugeot use 2 different types of ABS shaft. There's the fine tooth and the coarse tooth. One is for Bendix ABS, the other for Bosch (although I can't remember which way round they are.)jeremy wrote:Presumably its the ABS ring that stops us getting for example a Peugeot shaft and changing the joints over and using our original and hopefully straight shaft.

Last time I checked, 306 and ZX shafts are identical length, but I don't know if any Peugeot model has the same length shaft as the BX. I believe that 405 shafts are longer.
Also, There are various sizes and types of joint on Peugeot shafts. I've broken 4 405's now, and every single one has different driveshafts. Some are interchangeable. Some are not.
this might be a signature
