The OEM style is the only one I'd ever recommend as you can not adjust the pinion angles to make any of the others work.
Both show a rear driveshaft but all the same prinicples applies to the front also.

Wonder about any good sources for rear and possibly front drive shaft replacements? I couldn't find one I was interested in (a rear) that someone had here...replaced our "style" with a much sturdier "type". Any help would be appreciated. |

Sorry...should have made it clearer...I was referring to the rear ds. I found that the u-joints were separating...installed new ones and voila...all better. Now I can send off for the Suncoast TC...I am at 100,000 miles and it is time. Gracias for the help |
