Have you fitted the right half shaft as the right hand one is longer than the left so if you've accidentally picked up the right hand one and tried to fit it to the left hand side you'd get the problem you seem to be describing.

Mark Just let me know what biscuits you like and how you take your coffee, I'm in north Bedfordshire mk44 2dg take a peak on google maps.

What side drive shaft has the left hand thread?

Or which one is longest so I can get the tape measure out

Left hooker will be the side that won't come undone while going forwards so it's the left hand drive shaft...unless I'm going mad....

that sounds like your problem. It should be left hand thread on the left and standard right hand thread on the right.

Hi carl

I have just been out to look at my build.

The shorther shaft with the left hand thread needs to be fitted to the nearside of the car

Here's a picture of some lobro shafts that I have kicking about.



I know my build is using push in shafts but here is a couple of pics .... May help you to spot something
