|
|
Anyone know where to buy one (new or secondhand)? I need the complete halfshaft including CV joints at both ends
Its for a 95 L400 2.8 TDI
I've had a look on the Mitsubishi parts diagrams and its not clear what the part number is as it changes depending on which month in 1995 my Delica was made (unless anyone can clarify how I can ascertain the month?)
None on ebay (except in japan)
Local motor factors and Milner Off Road etc don't have it
I've already messaged people on ebay who are breaking one |

Front nearside.
The existing one is mullered due to fretting and had to be cut off |

I have just bought one from Mitzybitz, for £40 plus vat and delivery as I am struggling to find a new CV joint in the UK.

DelicaTessAn.
Some techy info. May seem "Nit Picking" But to (ex) mechanics like me it means a big difference.
Half shafts usually refer to a shaft inside a tube - As found in a Rear axle. And in some front axles.
Where the shaft is exposed, or external, it is usually referred to as a Drive Shaft.

Not to be confused with a prop shaft (which some do). Knowing Delicas, we know what he means. Have you tried Fils Pajeros in Southampton, Dan? (They don't just do Pajeros!) _________________ Andy C L300 Super Exceed - over 100 smiles per gallon! |

Just to clarify, - at the top, you said you needed a nearside shaft, but the first link goes to an offside (R/H) shaft. Nearside is passenger side (near the kerb). _________________ Andy C L300 Super Exceed - over 100 smiles per gallon! |

PS Confusion not helped by exploded drawings showing the L/H side of the vehicle on the R/H side of the drawing! _________________ Andy C L300 Super Exceed - over 100 smiles per gallon! |

The drawing for the nearside is the bottom illustration (labelled ‘L/H’) is it not? |

To clarify:
1. Regardless of Model, year or Series. there are only two front driveshafts.
2. The one on the drivers side (RH) is a single shaft, that bolts to a flange - The flange connects it to the inner section and clutch.
3. The Passenger side (LH) is a two section shaft, as per the photo you found. The inner end of that has a circlip about one centimetre from the end.
You may find this DIY post, with photos, about replacing the Passenger side one, useful:-
