Im shocking with mechanics but is this a tapered hub?

Basically i need to know what shafts i need.

I have a 02 Plate VTR and have been told they are tapered shafts on them anyway?

The VTR also has ABS.

anyone that could tell me or link me to what shafts i can get to fit these hubs would be a massive help !!!

The pics of the driveshafts are the ones that where in these struts not the current ones i have on the car!

Thanks alot!:hug:

From what i can see, they look to be tapered hubs. So those shafts should work with those hubs and also your ''02 plate vtr'' as that *should* have tapered shafts/bearings too.
I say should because obviously over the years things do get replaced/changed around etc.

Both those hubs and shafts look tapered. If those are your hubs, you'll need tapered shafts. Or vice versa.

Best thing to do is remove the shaft and just go to a motor factors and order one will just need the reg, which side and if its abs, but always take your shaft with you! Fitsly incase there is a surcharge and its stupidly hard for 99% of places to get you the right parts I always get given a 1.1 shaft or a later tapered shaft its ridiculous I get so wound up when it comes to buying new shafts
