Default Classic Driveshafts

Hi guys

Quick techie question.

Are front driveshafts universal for early classics- 1996 MY ie; STI/WRX/uk turbo all same fitment etc?

I ask as i have a clicking cv joint and have found new driveshaft with 2 year warranty for £79 and want to check it will fit before buying it.

Cheers
Andy

Thanks Pete.

I have sent the company an email asking them if it is suitable also so hopefully i'm covered on purchase refund if it turns out to be a non fit

Cheers

Early WRX shafts an MY99 shafts are the same, also Bugeye / hawkeye shafts are the same length too, only the inner cups are different...

I have a 05 plated WRX box in my MY99 RB5, an i recently had to replace my front shafts.. ( i got a set from a M plated WRX, an they fitted fine after i changed the outer CV joint )
