Default Driveshafts

Hey guys, I need a new rear left driveshaft (mines causing vibration I think)

Is there any differences across the model years, I'm confident there isn't but I would like to check first.

Thanks

Simon

You could always swap your buckets around.

As long as the spider is intact, this will net you a good wedge of mileage

Did this recently ,as i was getting vibration under acceleration.

Swapped the buckets and problem solved... All that for 40 euros.

And to get an idea .... DIY

P.S: Also fitted driveshaft spacers as the car is lowered and keen to this kind of malfunction.

Thanks for the info.

I have a read about buckets swapping, however I have a whirring noise coming from what sounds like the back left (probably won't be) and would like to rule out the driveshaft (already changed the hub).

Thanks
