Hey this is a little off topic but, you know how XR2 halfshafts are so hard to find?

Well, correct me if I'm wrong but-

Correction: The halfshafts you can get reman'd at any autoparts store, they are not hard to find at all.

The hard to find part is the intermediate shaft:



They aren't available new or even reman'd

Thanks for all the info guys. I bought an intermediate shaft, one in good shape too for 40 dollars. Should be here about Wednesday.

The kia rio axle is a replacement for the intermediate shaft needed for the g-series tranny.

How come more people dont opt out for this? Does the intermediate shaft help with torque steer?

Yep.

Kia rio axle.

What year,what model. Is this a fact? Have you done it? Might be a plausable short term option for me. I get Kia parts @ cost.

The intermediate shaft is there for torque steer yes. The idea is to make the axles into each wheel hub as close to the same length as possible.

I believe shadetree is the member who has a running example of this by now. Hes been working on it for a little while

ANYONE HOME?

I have no idea, i think it might be the kia rio 02 ls seeing as that's what most suspension parts are from.
