Episode 3 of the Volvo V50 front end rebuild, this episode covers the drive shafts and some issues with suppliers, one delivering entirely wrong parts and the other one supplied a part which was not fit for purpose.
In this series, we change major components of the front suspension, including drive shafts.
Episode 1 shows dismantling, following episodes are wishbone replacement, shock absorbers, brakes and drive shafts.
The procedure as shown does apply to Volvo C30, S40, V50 models, also some Ford Focus and Mazda models. Depending on engine and transmission, dimensions might be slightly different, but the general principle is the same.

This particular car is a 2007 Volvo V50 D5 with automatic transmission
