Default cheap drive shafts

Hey my saph apparently has an xr4x4 lsd diff in it and i need some new drive shafts and wheel bearings on the back as the cv joint on the near side has gone and is knocking like hell. Anyone know where i can get a cheap set as i don't fancy paying £80 each for them i don't know how to tell if its an xr4x4 diff all i know is it has cossie rear suspension set up and discs on the back that's all any advice and idea of where i can get cheap drive shafts would be greatly appreciated

The CV joint splits from the drive shaft.
So you should only need the CV joints.

In theory yes, as Cosworth 4x4 is merely XR4x4 running gear, HOWEVER this is an educated guess, not sound knowledge, but I think I am right!
