Subject:      Axle sans CV being sought
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Axle being sought for an 88 GL with manual tranny. Don't need the CV's
on it but do need the CV retainer circlips.

I know the axles are not all interchangeable. I don't know the length on
the ones on the my 88 GL and prefer not to remove one just for measuring
the length. So, anyone have any specific knowledge about
interchangeability by year?

I'm planning a trip to Alaska this summer and I'm working on my
emergency maintenance kit for the van. I want to make up a spare shaft
with the CV's already installed, ready to go. The idea of having to
change a CV on the axle shaft while traveling the Alaska Highway gives
me nightmares. I know the ALCAN well, ( you can tell by that highway
reference that I'm an old sourdough), that is why it gives me nightmares
about CV changes on the road.

Anybody go an axle that would fit they would like to dispose of?

Thanks for any input.
