Top pic - pot joint output shafts
#2 - rubber uni type
#3 - CanHardly Splice-her (Hardy Spicer) S/GT type.

As far as I know, each type are of equal length............

Here ended the lesson.

no, they're not equal lengths.... the left hand driveshaft is longer than the right, and pot joint driveshafts are different to hardie spicer and rubber uni driveshafts (which are the same!)
