hi need to replace the r/h side driveshaft on my rallye and apparently they are discontiuned now, are the syncro’s the same?
is the shaft itself damaged or have the cv’s just worn out, if so you’d be better off buying a pair of cv joints the shafts are a bit thin in the ground but they are about
have found somewhere now that does recon ones so am puttin my order in tomorrow so hopefully fingers crossed propblem solved!!
Might be worth postign the name of the place here if they do a decent job – you’re probably not the only one who will need one fixing

when i called up to order give me a cheaper price then was quoted so am very happy now
This is the outfit I got my driveshaft from, eventually. The price was good and the service was excellent.
If you are going cable-change on your Syncro this is probably one of the toughest items to obtain as it MUST come from a Rallye Golf, or G60 Syncro.
The reason for this is that the width between the output flanges on the cable change gearbox vs the rod change is +10mm on the cable change gearbox. The Golf models listed above are the only vehicles produced that used the gearbox and driveshaft length combination.
The Syncro shaft is 10mm too long, which means you will get very peculiar handling traits when cornering, as the shaft presses into the output flange centre.
