Default Sierra 4x4 Cosworth front right driveshaft problem

Every time when I turn left i feel judder on the front right side of the car when i want to move the driveshaft in direction inner cv joint it is impossible
on the left one it is a little way to move campared with the right one.


The right driveshaft can be longer as serial, do anybody know the dimension of the half shaft and the CV joints.

Must the cv joint's be the same on right and left.

check your exhaust is not catching anythink.
had exactly the same problem on my 4x4. the exhaust moved slightly when the engine got hot and fouled the front prop & chassis rail.

Check it's not your right hand tyre rubbing on the arch.

My tyre is rubbing but only on the side im having probs with, I dont think its the rubbing causing the vibrasion as its enough to bust my cv joints after only a few miles.

when i turn left i get a vibrasion from the front drivers side and it does not feel safe, we have try'd it at all speeds and even coasting at 5mph out of gear on a left turn you can feel it.

ive just finish'd getin all the bits together to give it a good going over
