anyone know which driveshafts use needle roller bearings in them?
i got some off a focus, but don't know which model/year.
obviously mtx75 box, 2.0 engine too.
just need the trilobe off a shaft so i get get my shafts in and fully checked over for fitment for my mtx75 conversion in my xr2.
what i do know is they're 24 splines, 1" diameter shafts (or close to) and the other diameter of the bearings that sit in the tri-lobe cup is 33mm

i've got 1.8 focus shafts and they're not right, 2.0 mondeo ones and they're not right either, but the original shafts were from a 2.0 focus that i got the custom shafts modelled on but one of the trilobes were broken and i thought it'd be easy to just get another set of shafts and replace one, not so


cheers

really haven't a clue on this one, may try to get reg and visit dealers in morning

 

Right I have in front of me a tripod joint from what I believe to be a focus diesel , it has a shaft spline diameter of 25mm , the outside diameter of the tripod bearings is 33.80 mm , its spline length is 26.5 mm , does that sound about right ?

 

that sounds exactly the same as it happens to the nearest 0.1mm!!
i'm guessing the bearings don't just drop off the spider bit and slide a little on the rollers a couple of mm's.
sounds about right to me if that is the case, what car is it off exactly or is it for sale?
will be at motor factors tomorrow otherwise as i need one to get my equal length driveshafts sorted and fitted

 

does it look like this one?

 

You can have this one for a donation lol , best way would be to do this the other way around to normal, if I send it and it is of use then you can pay , dunno how much postage will be as it is a bit heavy it looks the same and measured up the same so should be right

 

PM'd, sounds great to me
