pretty sure abs driveshaft different

 

[CMF_Rudy]

havnt got picture, but yes outer end of driveshafts are different due to abs

I ordered drive shafts from Repco for my super s and they only list the one set of shafts

 

[CMF_Snoopy]

from memory all the repco shafts come with the abs ring on them

 

[CMF_a88]

Yea thought they were different. I ordered the pair from eBay and they don't have abs rings.

Some places do some dont. If you have trouble finding them with the abs rings, give a few c.v shops a call. They usually have better listings and better product knowledge than places like repco, ebay etc.

What's exactly wrong with your Cvs?

 

[CMF_Rudy]

the superS shafts i got are still attached to hubs and not sure if the teeth you see attached to shafts or not. They look like part of the shaft?

Guys pics of an ABS hub http://f14batchimg.auctions.yahoo.c...imgbatch_1317513972/400x600-2011092600059.jpg hope this helps.Think it's a rear one though.

From the pic looks like they are part of the hub. I never playied with a super s front end so not sure. Im sure someone with a super S has pullied their c.v out before and can confirm

 

[CMF_Snoopy]

I just had a look at the haynes manual I have and it shows the abs ring as part of the c.v joint. That pic of the hub, are you sure that is not a rear hub as the tone wheel is part of the hub on the rear.

the abs rings are tolerance fitted onto the hub.

back when i thought a rear abs hub for £90 was soo expensive, i just got a non-abs hub £35, asked machinist to lathe the body down and swap the rings

Is it the same for the fronts as the rears?

 

[CMF_asdame]

Yep they're a seperate piece u can carefully hammer off

 

[CMF_Snoopy]

ok so a seperate piece attached to the hub or the c.v on the front.

the rotating male spline/CV joint part (arrowed in pic above)

if there's enough metal thickness, u can seperate the non-abs cv joint from the driveshaft, tape up the exposed joint to stop grease flying everywhere, place the CV/spline part on lathe, lathe the precise edge on the CV casing to tolerance fit the abs ring on the exact same position as on the abs driveshaft
