Rear Hlaf shafts different diameter
I am rebuilding the rear end of my 76 vette, and noticed when i removed the half shafts, the are not the same size in terms of diameter. The passenger side is much wider the the driver side.
Is this okay to put back together or do I need to install new ones?
All pictures, etc, seem to indicate they should be the same diameter.
thanks

You probably have a replacement halfshaft. At some point the diameter of the halfshafts changed. I don't remember the details of when the change occurred but I think later year vettes had larger diameter halfshafts. My car has the same diameter halfshafts so I never had to look into the issue in detail.
