Axle Splines...

How do I find out how many spline my axels are? Is there a code that will tell me? Thank you.

Only way to tell for sure is to pull an axle out and count the splines on it.If you know for sure the rear has never been changed (it is original for car) you can narrow it down to what spline it MAY be for that year.What year is the car?Any detailed info will help any of us to better answer you.

I am pretty sure that after I think 87 all v8 cars had 28 spline axels.

89 is the crossover year. You should assume it's only 26 spline but the only way to know if it came off the assembly line after the change is to pull the axles and count them.

Up to 88 have 26 spline. 90 to present are 28 spline.
