I have equal length 2 litre drive shafts from a cav 2 litre redtop in my corsa. The problem is that the drive shaft on the drives side pushes the engine towards the passenger side. it only does it when i maually turn the brake disc on the drivers side, but only does it at a certain point when i turn the brake disc. Has anybody got any ideas?
it is starting to get on my nerves cause when i drive it the whole engine vibrates.

does anybody know the difference in length between the standard shafts and the conversion shafts. Also are they equal length. Will the shafts you are on about Legend work on the M tech hubs, cause that's what i am running at the mo.

So does anybody know the difference in length between equal length shafts and the after market shafts from say regal or courtney and can the original shafts be machined down?

i have Standard Equal length car shafts on my corsa, and my car is standard width before people say mine wider.
i think there about 1/8th of a inch longer but you can Mob the Hub carrier/caliper so it fit perfectly.
use the same shafts on loads of conversion.
J100RSA has them on his Corsa 2lt aswell.
