C5 Driveshafts

[DaveHerns]

Is there any known weakness in C5 driveshafts possibly caused by having to extend when the suspension is on full lift ?

 

Is the outer Cv joint available separately from the shaft , ,if so ,where from ?

never come across any faults with driveshaft other than when people replace the outer cv joint (Which is available seperate £50ish) they find the circlip a bit tricky and leave it off causing complications later on when removinng a hub. The shaft sits into the inner cv joint which has a recess of some 2 or 3 inches which allows the shaft to slide in and out when cornering

Thanks for that

At least if it is a CV joint I don't need a complete driveshaft
