GUIDE:
Drive shaft type can be easily checked without removal – measure center shaft diameter in the middle (between CV joint boots):

Center shaft diameter 24 mm = “thin” drive shaft (L = 607 mm; outer CV joint ⌀ 76 mm, inner CV joint ⌀ 76 mm), typically found in:
  • Grand Vitara I 1.6 16v / 2.0 16v (1998–2005)
  • Grand Vitara I 2.5 V6 (1998–2005) – automatic transmission
  • Grand Vitara I 2.0 TD RF / 2.0 HDi (1998–2005) – automatic transmission
  • Grand Vitara XL7 2.7 V6 (pre-facelift, 2001–2003) – automatic transmission
  • Vitara I 2.0 16v (1996–1998)
  • Vitara I 2.0 V6 (1995–1998)

Center shaft diameter 25 mm = “thick” drive shaft (L = 607 mm; outer CV joint ⌀ 83 mm, inner CV joint ⌀ 79 mm), typically found in:
  • Grand Vitara I 2.5 V6 (1998–2005) – manual transmission
  • Grand Vitara I 2.0 TD RF / 2.0 HDi (1998–2005) – manual transmission
  • Grand Vitara XL7 2.7 V6 (pre-facelift, 2001–2003) – manual transmission
  • Vitara I 2.0 TD RF (1996–1998)

“Thin” and “thick” drive shafts have the same total length L = 607 mm, 26 splines (wheel side) and 3 bolts (differential side), so complete drive shafts are interchangeable.
CV joints are NOT interchangeable, as each type uses a different spline count on the center shaft (29, 30, 32 splines).

Center shaft diameter 28 mm = “XL7 facelift” drive shaft – NOT interchangeable with “thin” or “thick” versions due to shorter length (L = 588 mm; outer CV joint ⌀ 81 mm, inner CV joint ⌀ 79 mm), found in:
  • Grand Vitara XL7 2.7 V6 facelift (2003–2005)
  • Grand Vitara XL7 2.0 HDi (2003–2005)
