Evening all, weird one…

I’ve had my hubs/driveshafts rebuilt (new bearings and gaiters) went to fit yesterday.

RHS slid in and bolted up perfectly. Went to fit the LHS and it doesn’t fit, it slides into the diff, however the hub end is about 30mm away from the mounting point, it all binds up if I try to compress and bolt up.

Any ideas? I assume maybe the CV has come apart inside or something?

What car is it? The Ford zero had hub spacers fitted (1 or 2 each side) and the diff bolts also had spacers so the diff could move about an inch left or right.

I am sure that you have accounted for this, but I have to say that the shafts are not the same length, the nearside is shorter than the offside, so are you sure you have them on the correct sides ?  or you have received two long shafts by mistake ?.

Don’t be so sure I accounted for this 😂😂😂

I removed this morning and looks like it was nearly all my fault 🤦🏻‍♂️ 

I will say that in my defence the strange thing is the shafts have the LH and RH threads the wrong way round (IMHO) as it would seem they would undo themselves as the car drove.
