S40 D4 2.0D 6spd Auto 2010 Drive Shaft Question

[Lozhedgehog]

Hi there guys,

I've spent ages searching the forum and the web but can't seem to find the same answer anywhere!

Quickly my S40 D4 R-design 2010 2.0 177bhp 6spd Auto has been vibrating / shaking on acceleration above 50mph. I read it could be the drive shaft. Took to garage and they agreed but quoted me over a grand to do both sides.

I have a feeling it's the passenger / N/S that's causing the vibration.

I've decided to have a shot and change it myself, but without taking out the original first and measuring it, I can't seem to find the correct one as they all seem different lengths. I'm quite mechanically minded (mostly on our VW t25 camper!) so I guess once I get the correct part I'll be fine replacing it.

So if anyone can help with dimensions required for the N/S Auto box shaft it would be much appreciated. Also if anyone knows where I can get one (I've tried local scrappies but none have any Auto or even diesel cars in!)

Thanks in advance,

Loz
