Unhappy rear driveshaft spline difference??

Hello,

This is my first question on Passionford sinds you are more familiair with the cossies then we Dutch.
I like to know if you know of the differences in splines for the rear driveshafts sinds i want to replace my cv joints for new ones ,but GGR and Prolinx have them,but they write "for 28 spline shafts.

If i'm counting the splines from my shafts,then i'm counting 26!!,so i'm puzzled why the difference.
Or can my shafts be switched for other ford rearwheel driven ones??

Hopefully you can help me.

Thanks,

Fran,

are they for your car though?
is there a link you can post up so we can see what the problem may be?

it maybe for the 2wd ones as they have bigger shafts which aren't interchangeable with the 4wd versions

dojj:I have a Fiesta RS1800 to 2100 and a Escossie t25,the latter i am restoring.
I'm now working at the rear end and took out the complete bridge.
The rear driveshafts have on both ends 25-26? splines,and the outer ones need to be
replaced,because they are damaged.
The cv-joints have a fordnr:72GG-4635-BA,if you need pictures i can make some and post them.

KennyA:I think my diff is original,but how can i make out which one it is??

Thanks Fran,
