Guibo options

Post by Blaise »

I am in need of a new guibo and wanted to know if there are options to choose from.

Apparently you can use the more robust E28 version. I believe you'll need longer bolts but I can't confirm that. I had my changed about 5 years ago and I can't remember what the mechanic told me. Age is catching up to me real fast...sheesh... :oops:

I took some measurements and it looks like I have about 35mm when I move the front drive shaft all the way forward. The stock guibo is 45mm and it seems that the later versions are about 30mm.
