Half shaft lengths - Discotroll - 07-07-2024
Hello all - a bit of help regarding the compatability of half shafts would be much appreciated.
I'm digging through the various parts I have here - I'm looking at using a standard 33-39 'D' rear axle housing but all the half shafts I have measure about 22 1/16" in total (including the ones that came with the D housing) - are these too short or are they, in reality, what is called 22 1/2" in my Douglas Woodrow manual?
Many thanks for any help offered!

Rather than attempt to answer you in detail, permit me to refer you here: https://pub25.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=2099944454&frmid=5&msgid=870706&cmd=show
However you look at it, they are unlikely to be suitable for a D-type axle.

Ahh - thanks for the link, that explains it really well. As you say, what I've got isn't going to work in a D housing...
