    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.

    Re: omni axles

    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.

    Yep. That's the ticket. Try to get the ones with the billet cans and if they want your billet can axles as cores for their tin can axles, then go somewhere else or get your axles rebuilt.

    #1.... I forgot to add "Simon in 3..2..1..."
    #2.... That is because something else broke before the shaft.

    Re: omni axles

    The problem is that when the int shaft breaks, it kills other stuff too.

    true. you put your trany case and even engine block as risk. i swaped out my equal length setup for unequal for this reason.....and can tell no difference as far as full throttle steering. plus, you reduce your failure points by 50% on the pass-side of the car.

    That does happen, but most of the failures are the joint caps or the bearing in the support bracket goes to hell. The bearing is no longer available and I mean no where. More people than we can remember have tried to find one.

    Re: omni axles

    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.

    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!!

    Re: omni axles

    Do ya spose that failure to align and torque the intermediate shaft support bracket to the block contributes to the problem?
