Hi

I have and issue with my car where i experince bad vibration on acceleration with my car.
I have been told that it's the differential bearings. But i Am of teh opnion that it's the right hand side inner CV joint. My gearbox is quiet without any humming sounds or anything strange.

I have the opportunity to buy new OEM shafts, but need some assistance / guidance as to whether the shafts will fit. I tried serching fpr pics and threads relating to identification marks, etc, but could not come up with anything.

The shafts I can get have red marking / lines on them. If i recall correctly, mine have blue.


Can anyone assist in guiding me as to what the different colours mean?

 

i wouldn't worry about the markings. Where did the inner joints go?

 

My concern is the one is longer than the other. The ones on my car currently has two ref bands on the rhs and 2 blue band in the lhs.
I'm getting them for a steal, so I'll fit new inner joints.

 

The shafts on my car look like these. And have a 30 spline count. The shafts i want to buy, also have a 30 spline count.
RHS = 2 orange / red band
LHS = 1 blue band


The LHS shaft (1 band) seems ± 10mm longer than the RHS (2 bands), hence my concern about the meaning of the colours

 

So it seems that the colour differnce does play a role. As from the pics the 'new' LHS shaft is about 25mm longer than the one in my car...
