   I bought a new driveshaft for my car. This is the one I received, as you can see it is completely different from mine in several ways...
   
   
   
   Does anyone know what model it is for?
   
   Thanks

   The longer one is for VTR / VTS...
   
   It is split and has an intermediate bearing to help with torque steering.

   thanks mate im guessing theres no way it'll fit my 1.4? Would a 1.1 shaft be ok for mine?

   To be honest it looks like a 306 shaft, but i didnt wanna add confusion ... whatever its from, it won't fit a 1.4 saxo

   I wasn't sure if it was a saxo shaft tbh, I have emailed the seller so I'm just awaiting a reply from him now sent him a pic of it and all. Had to stick my old driveshaft back in until it gets resolved
   
   Thanks Guys

    the one on the right is a vtr/vts off side driveshaft because a vts can snap the other shafts quite easily and a vtr can destroy the left shaft over time

    as has been said, looks to be from a *06 derative or xsara etc. definately far too chunky for a saxo.
