shafts are different dude, have to get proper valver 1s making sure you get them with or with ABS depending on if you got ABS. if you loook on forum index at the top theres a new thing recently been put on keep refreshing till you come to the note about the shafts

I've never seen a report of a 16V driveshaft failure.

Depends what you mean though Neal.

they're single piece so the CV's are technicaly part of the shaft.

If your on about the shaft itself breaking then, no I haven't heard of that happening either.
