E30 Touring Driveshafts

Sat Dec 10, 2011 3:26 pm

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]

oh yeah my bad, its the cups from the diff outputs that are different.

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.

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

Cheers all.
