I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a new halfshaft for my 85 Camaro. I am having a problem because I have the disc brake option on the rear. No one seems to have those around. So if anyone could help, I would appriciate it.
Thanks

 

there is no half shafts in a f body. what is it you need? an axle?

 

i was going to say the exact same thing.

do you need a axle???

 

i'll just about bet he doesn't return or reply. i do think he's found the reason half shafts for a 85 camaro are so hard to find.

 

Maybe he's got that super rare IRS option.

 

mike i never even considered that, you may be right......but i doubt it

 

There is a left and a right side to the axle. I have already replaced the right side, because it was bent. Now I would like to replace the left side because it is bent as well. All I know is that it is a shaft that takes up half of the axle and both meet in the center. I am sorry if I have hurt anyones fealings by calling it what I thought it was. Nevermind.........

 

Axle for a 82-88 disc brake rear (make sure it has cast iron calipers on it)
Half shafts are used in independant rear suspensions.

They were just razzing you, they didn't mean nothing by it. You're gonna have to have thick skin to hang out in here....lol!

 

lol, we're jsut jokin around, dont worry about it..


both sides are the same.... you can swap them around... so dont worry about finding a drivers side or a pass side.. they're the same



best place ive found is the junkyards... if you can pull it, you'll get it for less then $20... sometimes less then $10 if they're feelling nice... lol.


replace the wheel studs before you install it though..

 

Thanks guys,
I was just having what you could call a rough night. But anyway, The only problem with a junkyard is that I can never find any rear disk brakes on camaros. Always drum.
