I assumed that the 4th gen H22 manual offside driveshaft would fit a 5th gen H22 manual. Does anyone know?

Pretty sure the 4th and 5th are different as the 5th has a slightly wider track at the front.

Thanks. I need to change a CV joint and I was hoping to save myself some hassle and replace the whole driveshaft.

I posted up a recommended place to buy new (oem standard/not uprated) driveshafts on the forum, last year ClickyHere
At that time they only did 4th gens, not sure if they've since expanded to 5th gens (or if you contact them, if they can add a 5th gen to their catalogue!).
