309 Lower Arms

Recommended Posts

Do the standard 205 drive shafts need changing to 309 ones if upgrading to 309 lower arms. I.e. are they long enough?

can of worms that one :o

 

run a search and you'll get a pretty even split of people who say you don't need to and other who say you must.

 

personally i've run 309 arms with 205 shafts on two different 205s without any problems

Yeah and that was at 2mph on full lock in a car park, the joint on the short shaft popped out and pushed the engine up and ripped the engine mount off on the passenger side, I had run it fine for about 3 months before hand and it could have been just a coincidence.

I run the short one with a 309 shaft but the long one is bolted in so using a 205 one.
