Whilst doing some transmission work I noticed that I need a rear drive shaft. 2005 with spline shafts at both ends.

Wiped it all clean and then drove the car again to see grease coming from in between the grove around the CV metal casing (NOT the rubber BOOT), is this possible, does it have a seal?

Want to source a used shaft. Can anyone please help to identify any W211 E55 drives shafts and what other models are compatible ? Part numbers? are they sided?

thanks

can anyone at least measure a spare shaft they have lying around please.

number of splines at the diff end and also the diameter of the shaft end (input shaft into the diff)

thanks

Ebay sellers usually have compatibility charts. I'm pretty sure they are the same side to side.
