CV Joint splines

[gokart]

hi guys

has anyone ever come across this situation of there being 23 splines in the hub and 31 splines on the drive shaft end?

If so where on earth did you get your CV joints from?

Cheers

Sure you havent miss counted mate?
the usual is 23/30?

spline count

mine is a little more interesting.. the car came with this configuration;
RHS (belt-side);
- 23 splines on the outer CVJ end (side that goes into the steering hub)
- 30 splines on the inner CVJ end (drive shaft side)
- the shaft itself is slightly thicker than the other
- the CV joint itself is smaller than the other

LHS (trannie-side);
- 23 splines on the outer CVJ end (side that goes into the steering hub)
- 23 splines on the inner CVJ end (drive shaft side)
- the shaft itself is slightly thinner than the other
- the CV joint itself is bigger than the other

so technically, it's a 23/30 and 23/23 configuration. since mine is the p-sport glanza, i'm suspecting it must have originally come with the OEM LSD box that was swapped out for this stock box hence the shaft differences. can anyone give an explanation for this besides my conspiracy theory..? plus, what is the OEM/stock spline count for the glanza drivetrain.. 23/23 or 23/30..?

i'm guessing no one ever got to verify this..? :|
