Bolt On Drive Shafts

I picked up a set of sierra bolt on drive shafts via eBay, and im not not sure if ive got a macthing set at all eg left & right.

Both drive shafts seam to be the same length ( my old push in type were different lengths )

Also both have right handed nuts/thread, shouldn't one be lefthanded thread etc.

Have i been sent 2 right hand shafts????

My bolt on shafts were different lengths

Mine also had RH and LH threads, that said I think some later models had only RH threads, but I'm not 100% sure about the threads.

Cheers

they are different lengths as the diff output flanges are offset from the center of the propshaft

If you look in my photo archive under "For sale" there is a picture of the two shafts laying side by side, (they are still for sale, by the way) Cheers Ray
