What length driveshaft LNF w/ LSD

[Zklonne]

Does anyone know what the compressed length should be for the CV axles? We’re finally replacing the current ones with heavy duty driveshaft shop axles, but the new axle compressed length is ~ 24.75” while old compressed is about 23.5”.

Thanks,
Zach

Thank you! I appreciate the info. I’m going to call Driveshaft shop and see if they goofed on the length on these new ones or what info they have that would have to point toward the longer length. I know when RichRich originally built this kit, he had installed a new replacement shaft for drivers side (not sure where from), but then said the passenger side “stock” shaft was about 25” compressed and didn’t fit. But I don’t understand how the donor would have been able to work with that longer stock shaft.

Something weird seems to be up that I can’t fully wrap my head around yet - hopefully the folks at Driveshaft shop can help clear it up.

The Drive Shaft Shop has a little bit of a bad reputation on in the 5th gen Camaro community with their driveshafts being to long, but I don't know if that relates to their CV styles.
