Vts Driveshaft question???

[MidlandVtr]

ive got a 98 vts and ive found a guy on ebay selling a passenger side driveshaft for a vts but its off a 51 plate vts. does it make a difference wether its off a mark 1 or mark 2 and will it work spot on or is there even a difference????

it can be different from the same year mate. think most are the it just depends on the bit that meets the bearings as they can differ

[MidlandVtr]

yea because if you get one that doesnt meet the bearing perfect the wheel bearing goes constantly doesnt it. what would you do if you needed a new driveshaft because your vts is the same ish to mine havent ya?

A quick way to check is compare the hub nuts as the early shafts (flat) have a short nut and the later (tapered) have a long nut.
