I want to fit equal length shafts on my xe corsa. But I'm lost as to how I go about it ect! I've got the other ones out, and ones longer than the other, so if they were both the same length then one wheel would be sticking right out the arch ha! Am I just being stupid? Someone care to explain? Thanks

Lol yes it's a short shaft with a bracket so the length of shaft that moves is equal both sides kinda.

Well I had them fitted on my xe corsa and when on full lock it would bang as the wheel is going round, so I read up on it and found out about the circlip grove mod, so I had the shaft modified and fitted it, the banging noise stopped
