Nat, I recall a tip about halfshafts on a 1600 that might be useful if you have a lowered car and the exhaust system rubs on the rubber dust boot on the shaft. Just replace them flipped 180 degrees so that the ends that were closest to the diff are now closest to the wheels. It gives you more clearance around the exhaust. Not that I've tried it myself.
