Driveshafts - new apparently

Picked up an ebay bargain - or so I thought. Long story short is that they are recon, not new as advertised. GKN units so I thought they'd be sooper dooper.

Only, there is play/back lash in both outer CVJs. There is less play on the Xantia 2.1 shafts after 160K. I assumed that any back lash, if at all, would be barely noticeable when new and just as tight as re-con units.

Can someone put me straight here.

Should there be any backlash in NEW CVJs?
As above but Re-con untis?

My opinion is no or bare noticable.

there will always be some backlash, even in new, but it should be barely perceptable.

Sounds like you've bought a pup, negative feedback!

I've started a 'resolution' thing yesterday, but he's still not responded.

linky

There was a matching n/s one as well. On one of them, there are several hammer/bruise marks where it's been belted in the past (big sledgehammer by the looks - one of your Doc?! :mrgreen: :wink: ) so clearly not new!

He's been in touch now and will accept returns - he needs to pay the initial and return postage though.

Fiat related? Jeez, give up the mushrooms Doc! :mrgreen: Well, you've used it as an adjective, and that's how it should stay. So, some kind of rip off dude or similar, maybe abbreviated to Cinter, with a hard C?

my mate Mike did lots of acid, clever fucker he was too.
I remember walking home form the pub one night and he grabbed a lamp post, would not let go of that fucker for shit. The crocodiles were trying to eat him apparently.. at that time he touched the stuff for a few years... scary shit.

In spent an age pushing paint back up onto the wall because I was worried the accomodation officer would kick me out.

#The paints melting Alan.....

:lol: 'Pushing paint back up a wall....' classic.

My very close equivalent is the tiles 'melting' in a hotel toilet whilst my mate was in the bath. I think I may of even had a shit whilst he was in the bath...........

It's bad too often though, not that I've done often at all, twice or three times, but I can see how people get fucked up on it - it re-wires your head. And that's mushrooms, I've never done acid, like you say Doc it's scary shit really. Is Mike ok now or is he fucked?
