340 Driveshafts

Post by VitesseEFI » 16 May 2010 06:49 pm

Hi,

I'm looking for CV joints (or complete driveshafts) as used on the 340 series. (1.4, 1.7, manual or vario are all the same). Not 360.

Somerset, Dorset, Devon location and advantage :)

Thanks!

Nick

Getting rid of some dodgy Rotoflexes by any chance? :wink:

If you get offered 360 ones, I may be up for a straight swap.

Theres a niggling feeling in the back of my mind that says 360 ones are stronger so would be a good upgrade for me.

Only GLT ones I think... for some reason I seem to think 360 GLE/GLS ones are the same as 340's? Hmm...

Yes, rotoflexes are evil and must be banished :)

I think that the difference between 360 and 340 CVs is just the spline size (360 are bigger). This means that you can fit 360 shafts to a 340 if you want to but they are no good for my purposes as they don't fit on the end of a Rover driveshaft like the 340 ones do. I only have the evidence of one driveshaft parts book and local Volvo breaker for this so use this information at your own risk. I thought the 360 and 360 GLT ones were all the same but could be wrong about that :roll:

Any one got some? Don't mind removing them :)

Cheers

Nick
