In the process of stripping and renewing subframe bits and pieces.
Im about to pull off the hubs, cvs etc.
On the end of the cv I currently have whats in the top of this pic. Rubber coupling?

Whats the best driveshaft to go with?
I have heard of/seen pot joints, hardy spicer etc.
I'm pretty sure I have 2 of the big ball bearing type that came with the car. Pot joints??

Also, I plan of going lsd when I build my gearbox.
What type of driveshaft/coupling is best for lsd purposes?

Just trying to get my head around driveshafts/diffs amongst other things!
