Hi.
Driveshafts.UK quoted that the half shaft ( intermediate shaft ) splines were worn on the connection with the inner cv joint. Apparently they have seen it before, on a regular basis. I believe that to be nonsense too, but to rest there doubts I'll follow there theory.
I can confirm your suspicion, as I spent 3hrs stripping and rebuilding the parts and measuring the splines with a digital vernier.
There was approx 3 thou difference at the most, between half shaft and inner cv splines.
Which is probably the same as manufacturer tolerances.
I do believe they are just blaming everything bar there own driveshaft. Which will bring me to the point of taking it back to them for investigation. I'm almost tempted to buy a Q drive driveshaft from euro car parts, fit it, then if it's cured, just get a refund from Driveshafts.UK. The way they talk ODM who make the cv joints are the holy grail of cv joints and don't fail.
