Barryboy85 4 Posted October 24, 2017 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ozymandis 96 Posted October 24, 2017 Skf seems to be a popular choice. Not with you anymore, I`m guessing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dawning 11 Posted October 25, 2017 Haha, no! It was fine untill I had to remove it though. Driveshafts seem to be a bit of nightmare for the 205 unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,622 Posted October 25, 2017 standard oem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barryboy85 4 Posted October 25, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calvinhorse 870 Posted October 25, 2017 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Fenton 1,525 Posted October 25, 2017 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 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
