Skf seems to be a popular choice.

Thanks for the reply, I've looked into skf but seem to have had problems with not fitting properly, has anyone used these recently without any problems?

Not with you anymore, I`m guessing.

Haha, no! It was fine untill I had to remove it though. Driveshafts seem to be a bit of nightmare for the 205 unfortunately.

The problem is finding oem drive shafts,and if you do I'm sure they are going to be a lot. As much as I would want oem ones but I think I'm going to be priced out.

I had trouble with skf driveshafts in the past, they knocked like mad.. the car was lowered and had 2 degree camber on the front.

 

I raised the car up and put the camber back to standard and the shafts have been perfect ever since, boots still look brand new

they dont have to be new, they last a very long time as long as the grease isn't let out.

In fairness though, this would just have been the suspension settings meaning the shaft was bottoming out. Any brand at the same compressed length would have done the same thing.

Yes mate that's what I'm getting at, standard (ish) ride height they're fine, even after I ran them for a few thousand miles knocking like a.. thing that knocks a lot
