Default Driveshaft differences
Is there a difference between the hubs and driveshafts on a 1.3 mk3 escort and the rs turbo ones?

don't think there is. Hubs i would say 90% sure and driveshafts 75% sure haha. Ford probably made them the same for all escorts as it just saves money

I think they are the same thickness but at the hub end something was different, i cant remember what it was i just can remember having 1.3 shafts and rs turbo hubs and the shaft end was to small i think.
