driveshaft AGAIN!!!

[intruder]

Gonna buy a new driveshaft now it seems there are tapered or straight faced ? My saxo 1.0 1999 has 3 stud wheels the company selling the driveshafts say all 3 stud saxo have the flat / straight end driveshafts and that its the 4 stud wheels that take the tapered driveshafts does anyone know if this is correct ? Getting fed up with all this crap also you have to get a wheel bearing compatable to that driveshaft ? Has anybody had any issues with driveshafts like this before , coz any advice would be much appreciated thankyou

No.

That's complete rubbish. My Saxo was a 3 stud and took tapered shaft. Check your old drive shaft end to see whether it is tapered or flat, which will give you exactly what you need. If you end up putting the wrong type of drive shaft in, it will become slightly loose and end up ruining your wheel bearing and possibly hub depending how long you leave it.
