Sorry guys, long hours at the day job and then every spare moment on SDAC-25... sent the latest issue of Up Front to the printer at 2:30am, so I got a minute to breath today LOL
I've been waiting to hear axle lengths from you L-body guys, anyone got any numbers yet?
For L-body, lead time to get them will really depend on the length and what they have available to work with since they don't currently stock them for our cars.
For future orders after the GB, good question, I'll see what I can arrange!
Turbo Joe - Lead time should be better for P-body as I'll spec out the same ones I'm running and they know those.
Also, any minivan lengths?
Sorry JT, I thought you were looking just for the Minivan lengths. I'll try to get both dr and pass side lengths tomorrow.
Thanks Bryan! If anyone else can too, that would be best. I know everyone is using the "1989 Omni automatic trans driver side axle" or whatever had the larger splines on it to fit a A555 or A568, but I've seen a couple different lengths and would like to confirm!
This brings up a good point as well, just to confirm, they only make the large spline diameter to fit A568/523/555/520 and later A413 Automatics.
The driver's side axle length i measured was 24 1/8" to 24 3/16". The pass side measured 38 15/16" to 39".
And these are large spline axles.
A caveat for that, is that one manufacturer was doing a "collapsed mount" versions for vans that was a tad longer, so they didn't pull out of the transaxle on corners..... I want to say they were more like 39.5 to 40 though on the long side, but it's been 8 years since I saw them. But if you're sure you're measuring originals, then we should be good.
These are L-body unequal length RW, not van axles.
JT,
22.75" compressed length driver side Lbody
23.50" uncompressed
37.187" compressed length pass side Lbody
38.25" uncompressed
Edit: the above numbers are correct.
Thanks guys.
Reeves, did that 23.5" one fit better than the is that the one it took 5 of us to tag-team in at Norwalk? And do you think 24" would fit?
I just looked up my notes and have some scratch saying the uncompressed length (so the plunger touching the spring but the plunge spring no pre-loaded) should be 24" DS 39" PS
JT,
The axles I measured are what was currently in the car. I have some others that I will test fit and measure.
Any idea how long it might take them to make them? I'm just trying to figure out what axles I will need for SDAC25.
If you have spares, especially stockers, please measure at least one more of each
Once we go, lead time should be less than a month
I checked a Chinese axle I have and got 24 3/16" length for the driver's side. 24" length sounds right JT.
Cool. Thanks guys. I should have something this week.
Heard anything yet?
How about now?
and now? :)
