Title: driveshaft query
Post by: Slimline on August 14, 2021, 16:33:47

Hi guys hope someone can settle an argument with my other half.

The drivers side driveshaft on my i30 tourer is clicking like mad and being short on money ive located 1 on ebay from a 2016 i30 hatchback.

Now ebay is telling me it wont fit which is what my wife believes but i am under the impression the ngnines are identical so therfore the driveshaft whould fit.

Is ebay (and therefore my wife) right or am i?

thx in advance.

Ps. would of got a new CV joint but i cant seem to locate 1 anywhere.

Hi  and  :wttc:

Does the eBay listing state the part number?

Thinking you could enter your VIN into the form at partsouq.com and compare what comes up there.
