Guys, any differences between the passenger side driveshaft on the 1.7 and 1.7 Turbo 1994 assuming both are ABS. On the search for one just wanna be sure before I go looking

Thanks
Colm

For Roro? It's had a 2nd hand one for the passenger side. Auto ones are different from manuals D/S

Yep for roro, its had bushes done for MOT and now she is wandering severly over 40 mph, tracking on front is OK so mechanic seems to think its the drivehsaft on passenger side.

Nah I don't go for it. How could that cause it to move around at speed along the road? So it's had new bushes on the old wish bones?

What way does it move over to then driving?

Well when I drove it back to the mechanics, it was in the wet and it was trying to take me both sides of the road, could not go over 35-40mph. Tyre pressure is fine too, when I drove it in the dry shortly before it would wander over to the left, to be honest I'm not 100% its the driveshaft, I'd be more for getting a full 4 wheel alignment and tracking done. Before the bushes were fitted things were ok, same kind of wander but maybe only at a 10th of what its like now.

Sounds unlikely to be a driveshaft?

Do you have a matching apir of tyres on the front? Of not, that can easily cause that.

The tracking will have changed if the front wishbone bushes have been changed.

Are both wheels seated correctly on the hub?

damn that's not good. Has the mech broken it then? OK before now not good. Correct bushes? Have the steering arm been removed? I'd take it back mate,

toyo t1r's on all 4 tyres
