spoon Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Hi I want to buy both driveshaft for my 1997 Glanza s and need to be sure of which ones to get as I've been told they are different to uk models something to do with abs or if anyone could find out where I can source the right pair? Quote
Socks Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 UK Shafts will work... But the chances of finding a UK starlet with ABS is slim! Best to just go a glanza v ones! Quote
spoon Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 will glanza v driveshafts fit in without any modifications? Quote
russ78 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) as above glanza S drive shafts will need a ABS ring which most UK starlets dont have, Turbo driveshafts are thicker and will fit but it need to be a complete unit including all CV Joints and do have the ABS ring although Paseo driveshafts are the same and do have a ABS ring so would work also. I was thinking about doing a write up on this exact thing so if I get time I will do so... Edited January 6, 2015 by russ78 Quote
Ollieh17 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I had gt turbo shafts without abs and fitted abs rings to them. Can you do the same with n/a shafts? Quote
spoon Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 thanks guys this helps, i think i'll just buy paseo ones as it sounds like they'll be a straight fit. Quote
russ78 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 just check they have abs ring as im not 100% all uk models came with ABS... Quote
spoon Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 i don't know an awful lot about driveshafts, the abs ring is on the outer cv joints? so in essense i can just get any uk drive shafts and just bob both cv joints on that come with a abs ring i.e from a paseo etc Quote
russ78 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) yes you can but its a fair bit of faffing around would be better to just source complete units although na and turbo cv joints are not cross compatible so bear that in mind as joints are different Edited January 6, 2015 by russ78 Quote
russ78 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) FYI,the ABS ring is the cog type metal washer on the end of the joint Edited January 6, 2015 by russ78 Quote
spoon Posted January 7, 2015 Author Posted January 7, 2015 I understand now thanks, I'm just going to get the whole driveshaft off a paseo and be done with it. thanks guys you've been a great help. Quote
