No they won't. Get some axles for a 90' omni with an auto trans. Even the guy at the parts store can't screw that up.
No, they are specific to L-bodies. You take the 88-90 Omni auto trans axles and use them.
This question is asked weekly, why don't we have a sticky for it?
Talk to Frank.
I would buy two drivers side Omni auto axles. Then get the intermediate shaft and bolts off a car from the junk yard. That way you will have to equal lenth shafts = less torqe steer.
i thought people had issues with blowing that intermediate shaft apart...
The problem is that when the int shaft breaks, it kills other stuff too.
maybe the intermidate shafts break cuz nobody ever thinks about putting a new uni joint into a fwd car?
As far as intermediate shafts breaking some times the coupling breaks, but more I've seen mostly the gears (that receive the axle) stripping. The latest I've seen was from a GLH so it doesn't have to be a heavy car to do it. Another one was more of an annoyance, the bearing shield broke off of the bearing case and would spin freely. And another one shattered the yoke. They're good but not invincible.
the only good thing about the equal legth ones are that you only have to buy one life time axle from advance wait a few weeks and take out the other one and they dont know the difference.
i hate advanced auto.... something about the manager crying like a little sissy ----- every time i brought something back i got from there just iritates me... oh yea that and the fact that almost every single part i walked out of the store with walked right back into the same store
Went over to a customers garage ready to pull the trans with the racket it was making in gear. Got under neath and bumped it with the starter and in gear to make sure it was a condemned 525. The int. shaft was spinning but not the axle. Female end of shaft was smoothed out. Kinda won't let me forget it happens!!:nod:
Do ya spose that failure to align and torque the intermediate shaft support bracket to the block contributes to the problem?
