    Minivan axles are unique to minivan. Attempt to use a k-car one or L-body ones will leave you in the middle of the road, with oil or ATF+4 under your car, because your axle(s) just pulled out of the transmission.

    You could take the ends off the Shadow axle and put them on the minivan center section.

    Maybe, maybe not. The ends are different depending on the axle make, so if he has say 2 Saginaw's, then he could.

    As said, Vans are the longest axles, use the car ones and the inners blow apart.

    Bummer, thats what i thought. That would explain why I had a set marked minivan that I threw out. Also might explain why I blew out an inner CV when both were replaced shortly before I bought the van .
    Thanks for the info!
