Trying to find parts for it has been a pain so far. But that makes some sense. Ah well, at least I got the right ones ordered now. Thanks for all the help.

<p>Update for anyone looking for a similar part trakmotive sb8009 appears short enough, need to check everything else, but that appears to be the right part, thanks for all the help </p> <p> </p> <p>Edit, sorry, looked at wrong number sb8002 Just realized I had put the wrong one in. lol</p>

It's a coupe. So far I'm pretty sure that there are parts from about 5 cars in there. It does have an EA81 motor, Not sure how that changes things for the half shaft. I have to admit, I'm fairly new here, I'm a recent convert.

Right, that would work great except I'm pretty sure these parts are not supposed to go to this car. Even subaru says it should be 27" compressed. But when I try to put in a new one, it is about 1 1/2" too long. Was hoping someone may have an idea of what these shafts came out of. all the splines match perfectly, just too long, very strange. If I put the shafts side by side, there is a 2" difference in length. The hard part is that the old ones are worn to the point I don't trust that their measurement is exactly right, so it's hard to google search it.

Okay, first of all, the person we got this from, well, him and Dr. Frankenstein would have been buddies. I went to put new half shafts in, boots have been gone for a while and the clicking is making me nervous (ever lose a CV at 75 mph, it's one of the scariest things I've ever had happen to me) Anyway, no matter where I turn, the only half shafts made for this car are like 27 13/32. The ones ON the car are about 25 1/2 (hard to be exact with the wear and tear). I'm pretty sure somewhere parts got swapped and these are NOT for a GL, but right now, I need axles that keep together. Any thoughts? I'm trying to get this car ready for a new driver so while I'm not really in a hurry, would like to get it off the jack stands and out doing something besides looking sad...
