Sierra rear half shaft orientation
Hi
Can anybody help I have taken the half shafts off the rear diff , I need to put them back on the same way and my marking has worn off. There are some cross markings on the end of half shaft on one side. Are these to the outer or the inner. Can someone check this and get back to me please?

Hi
Not sure what you are asking, the half shaft are pushed into the CV and secured with the circlip. Then one ends is bolted to the diff and the other to the hub. It is important the they should be assembled exactly in the same way prior to assembly otherwise the splines can sheer off!!!!!!! I hope I am making sense if not get back to me. Thanks for your help!

I understand now,I have just replaced the shafts on the roadster I am building to race and they were supplied new by CPS in TVTE in Gateshead and as far as I am aware there is no inside or outside if you know what I mean although one should be shorter than the other to allow for the offset of the diff/pinion.
I also replaced the inner joint on a Golf this week and its the same idea and again had a good look to make sure which way it was fitted and both sides were the same. Post some pics if poss Axle

Correct fitting
Hi Again
Thanks again for looking into this. You are right the shaft can fit on both ends, and there is no concern if they are new. However if they are 2nd hand they should go back exactly the way they were assembled, otherwise the spline can be stripped off. As I said previously there are cross marking on the facing of one ends of half shaft, it would be good to know if they can be of any refference to this fitting? If nothing else could you please le me have the contact tel no of the company where you bought your gears from maybe they will know. Many thanks

Ask for stan,they are very knowledgeable and good to deal with. Good luck. Post up what happens as I would like to know the end result,it makes no sense as to why it would strip the splines as they would work in any place on the car and the load is torsional and rotating.
