Title: Drive Shafts
Post by: TurboDieselOne on June 03, 2016, 09:14:59 PM
Hi
Just a quick Enquiry Bought 2 Drive shafts online 1 LH and 1 RH but as not labelled dont knwo which are which they are both the same size etc and length.
Are they meant to be the same. As if so why when ordering do they ask to pick LH and RH.

PS the centre nuts both do up clockwise.

Thanks

Thanks I got an Email from Lee Jones of J & R he confirms they are the same for either side.
They are a good price. No Amazing price and the service and quick replies were excellent.
