Seriously...

a 91 car has a very high probability of being 28 splines. 88-89 were the changeover years, by 91 the old ones were pretty much all flushed out of stock.

I checked out a 91 rear today and pulled the axle; it had 26 splines...

Doesn't mean much. My 87 had a 10 bolt from an 86 but now has 28 spline axles. Unless you're the original owner don't always assume the car is original. 90-92's should all have 28 spline. Well actually 90 to present have 28 spline but fourth gen axles are longer.

My 91 had 26 spline axles and I am in the process of working a deal for a set of 28 splines out of an 88 Trans Am. I think it is the luck of the draw.
