Any rear axle guys out here?

Post by Darren J » Mon Mar 23, 2026 6:29 pm

So I'm going through the driveshaft and rear axle on my 26 Coupe. My plan was to switch the inner and outer axle sleeves since neither Snyders nor Langs have any. Mine are in great shape except for the right outer. It's definitely good enough to use as the right inner. When I pulled the sleeves I found that I don't have 2 rights and 2 lefts I have 3 lefts and 1 right! Dang it.

Any chance I can use a left as the right outer? The hole for the grease cup is pretty much at the break in the sleeve but the rotation is against the direction of the V instead of with it.

I doubt I can do that so the question is does anyone have a single right axle sleeve I can buy? Steve told me he doesn't plan to make any new ones for at least 2 weeks and by the time I have it shipped to WI I'm back at least 3 weeks or more.

Thanks, Darren

Check with Mark Chaffin. He may have some inventory.
