has anyone bent a drive shaft on their Mk2 ?

[tommymac]

just asking because my right side is spinning like an egg friggin annoying my build is almost done.

if so how did you fix bar getting a new one from VW for 650 buks.

perhaps get the DS balanced?? Not sure of the effect of loosing material off the DS would be though, but I wouldn't want to looose too much.

Just spit balling.

They are the same as SEAT Cordoba or Ibiza GTI mate, come down and I`ll find you a sweet one. $80 with nice CVs??

lol. i've bent one but not from having too much 20v power.

(it was actually at like 135 degrees... )

If something as important as a driveshaft was bent I'd be replacing it with no questions asked (I'd definitely interrogate the suspect driveshaft as to how the hell it got bent though! ) they're not completely unaffordable when new, and you'll find a second hand one anywhere! Like Loon said he'll have heaps.

cool ok mate let me sort that out, its def bent tho!

my shelf collapsed in my garage and i think the mk4 AC compressor landed on it or hit it

[ausgolfer]

Never bent any drive shafts here but the 16v ones "may" be stronger than 8v ones...

[jayjay]

lol. they're the same part number for the seats, mk2s and i'm not sure about mk3 4 stud... hmm?

i have a long mk3 drive shaft il sell for $50 if you need it

[Golf Loon]

Mk3 driveshafts are too long. You need Mk2 or SEAT ones.
