I recently bought a pair of brand new driveshafts for a manual 3.5L 3rd Gen with ABS for $198 + postage. Got them from A&L Drive Shafts in Campsie (where ever the hell that is).

Exactly the Mob I was going to recommend. Got a shaft once for a KR that nobody could find one with the correct number of splines for. Spoke to the guy, he knew that the early KR's had less splines and sent the correct one out, and its still going strong AFAIK.

Regarding ABS apparently the ABS shafts have an ABS ring on them, not sure what it does but I remember EGO talking bout them one day.

the abs drive shafts have teeth like structures near the hub, so that the abs sensor near the wheel can determine if the wheels are spinning or locked up (ie under heavy braking)

The teeth are on the back of the brake disc, nothing to do with the drive shafts - was staring at one 2 days ago. So I guess the driveshafts are not affected by ABS /non ABS

ok here is the problem.

car 1985 magna

hubs evo 3, engine 4g63t, gearbox evo 3 converted to front wheel drive.

problem is the normal magna shaft is to long and ends are diffrent,no one ive spoke to has evo 3 to look at.

i would love to know what abs has to do with it

i had my TH (no ABS) drive shafts out within the last months... AND we had tzaboys ralliart (ABS) drive shafts out 2 months ago and both looked exactly the same

Gremln,

Beats me - ask Mazda why a 13B turbo water pump is $500, and a 13B NA is $250. The only difference is the bolt pattern......
