Hi all,

Just having a bit of a nightmare in the work shop, I dont suppose that anyone knows if the drive shafts on a 1993 E30 Touring are the same length for both passenger and drivers side??

Additionally, does anyone know if there is a shaft thats roughly 20mm shorter flange face to flange face that would fit the touring??

Cheers!

there are medium and small case diff shafts, that may be the problem.

Shafts are the same cause the diffs are the same width small or medium case. [/list][/b][/code]

which means all shaft should be the same.

Small case output flange on a medium case diff? TBH, I don't even know if this is possible.

Won't work as they are different lengths Brian.

Lol supra turbo diff with touring shafts. It's all sorted now, after a long evening of work.

Cheers all.
