Jonny-Jimbo Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hi all,I spent this afternoon putting the differential and driveshafts back into my 2000 mk1 having had the backing plate blasted and painted, plus many many bits from Chris Witor for it. The UJ's were replaced by Dave Mac and Mick Papworth inspected the differential - all was okay, it was the driveshaft UJ's knocking in the end.Anyway, I followed the workshop manual to make sure I didn't miss anything, however, there is something I don't think is right.I put the flange coupling bolts in, with the nuts on the UJ side, and this is what seems to be shown in the manual. However, I worry that the nuts will be very close to the UJ's when in use. Is this right? Or should the driveshaft and diff flange bolt have the bolt head on the UJ side, rather than the differential side?Any help much appreciated.

piman Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Hello Jonny, it doesn't matter which way they go, but if you feel happier with the bolt head on the U.J. side, fit them that way.Alec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
