Hello everyone.
Fiat Ducato x230 2.8jtd 2002.
I intend to change the driveshafts right and left.
I am using autodoc. I know my vehicle is 1800kg payload. I'm confused by the different lengths of driveshaft offered for sale. I know the right side is longer because of the position of the diff. I am looking at 1800kg payload 35 teeth wheel side and 41 teeth diff side. Although the driveshafts are this spec they differ in length and it's not possible to enquire with autodoc. Can anyone cast any light on this and also do you know of a better supplier with more information?
Any help appreciated.

NB. The left shaft looks a standard 762mm. The right shaft varies from 1080mm to 1085mm. I've noticed on another thread that the right hand inner CV joint moves in and out horizontally to accommodate suspension movement. Could this be why the sizes are slightly different?
