+** Type '''1''' is the recommended solution, because it has much better aftermarket support than type '''2'''.
 * The conversion is dead simple and can be done on one front wheel / axle side only at a time, and on the other at any later point in time.
 ** The entire conversion consists just of replacing your original halfshaft (which should have '''26''' splines on the end which enters the differential and '''20''' splines on the end which enters the CV joint) with a Jimny halfshaft which has the same number of splines ('''26''') on the differential end and either '''19''' (for type '''1''') or '''29''' (for type '''2''') splines on the CV joint end.
