Default Rear Shafts

hey guys- I had a post but cannot find it- I am told these are rear shafts for a c4 - does that look to be the case? I don't understand the slip yoke and I guess these are stronger since they are steel the alum. factory ones?

I can email you a bigger picture if you pm me your address. There are splines under the white sleeves, and then a bigger set of splines that look like the rear spindles of my C4.

They are not Corvette C4 half shafts. The original C4 half shafts are aluminum and should be able to handle most street and track applications short of some 650+ HP monster. The right photo is the OEM C4 aluminum half shaft.

Your original post I mentioned what I felt that they were and a contact to maybe confirm. I'm quite confident of the information in my first post!
