Default Torque tube couplers

Need some input! I have a 97 c5 torque tube I picked up with no couplers. I also have a brand new set of stock couplers but they are for a 2015 camaro, does anyone know if these will work in the 97 c5 manual??

You would need to cross reference the part number, but my instinct is...NO WAY.

Couplers are pretty cheap so why would you fool with anything other than stock OEM?

The only reason I considered them is because I have a set sitting at my buddies house for free, they are OEM just not off of a corvette lol.

Stoc couplers are inexpensive. Old couplers can pick up a vibration.
Do the job, once.
Good luck
