I know this guy says it doesn't fit a camaro. I don't know what year car he tried to put it in, but I am not aware of many other rwd chevy aluminum driveshaft. Does anyone know if these measurements actually might be correct for a thirdgen? If so I was going to go check it out.

Thanks

 

it's too short.

 

The 1LE alum shaft is 41 1/2 U-center to U-center.

the camaro is too short for the driveshaft. You can get the driveshaft shortened, but then you're out more money. May as well just get a 4th gen driveshaft.

 

by the way, if that driveshaft is more than 3.5" diameter, you'll never get it to clear the torque arm. 3.5" is really pushing it.

 

Sounds like it would be out of a 1990s shortbed pickup truck. My brothers 2wd had a similar aluminium driveshft his was long bed though, i assume that the shortbed one is about that length.

 

Thanks, I'm hoping to get one of the ls1 driveshafts as I have heard they are the best. I just do not know how to identify one unless it is in the car. I always feel like junkyards try to pull one over on you.

 

3.5 clears with no issues at all, a 4" will actually fit.

 

search for fparts as a seller on ebay, they have some ls1 shafts listed at around $120 i think,

i got one from the classifieds here for $150 with new ujoints and balanced, worth every$
