equal length drive shafts on clio reduced torque steer and a limited slip diff and large 235 section tyres. ran ok with 320bhp so shuold be ok

j3ned had unequall length drive shafts and problems with the angles to the hubs so i here. mines running the renault geometry with wide track better suspension and wider tyres.

oh i thought it was the actual chassis that was havin trouble, not the drivetrain or suspension! fair play! either way its gonna be a site to behold! 8)

how the hell do you get equal length driveshafts with a JB/JC gearbox ?

yes had my box rebuilt and fitted a gripper lsd. the driverside has a remote output on the jb5. this makes the drive shafts equal lenghts. this is why clios dont tend to torque steer that much and the limited slip helps

the megane box uses a mount that carries an intermediate shaft
