almera gti cv joint issue

[wip]

hi everyone, I am a proud owner of a 1996 black almera gti

 

I have gone to replace the outer cv joint on the drives side however I have had 2 replacement joints and on both occasions the internal diameter for the inner spline shaft is about 2mm bigger on the cv joint on the car than the replacement, on other words the new cv join is way to small for the drive shaft.

 

has any 1 had this problem? or is it just me lol

 

I also have the fto brake conversion, would this be linked?

 

thanx for you time guys :)

ok so I have found out I have 23 internal teeth instead of 25 which is what keeps coming up on any search for my car

 

apparently this was an issue on the 1.6 engine

 

im confused lol

 

I have looked up a cv joint for a 1.6 and that has 23 teeth, would this fit then?

and yeah I defo got the sr20de lol
