Re: brakes binding (abs unit removed)

Right update running a washer or not running a washer made no difference.. No running without brakes work fine But start binding when driven abt 10 min later, when cooled down its fine and spins free... Could it be master cylinder ?

Re: drive shaft difference???

The question was what's the difference as my spare came off a e30...not why my driveshaft won't fit. its a bit obvious it won't fit if its not the same as original... so bit of a silly answer .... unless you know what one i need keep your comments to yourself... not very helpful
