OEM double-cardan up top. (from a 96 AWD V8, I purchased from chriswells)
customer double-cardan on bottom (correct length for later-model AWD)
and, to quote myself
took some more measurements of my shafts... since I currently have 3 sitting in the garage
Shaft 1 (OEM 96 double-cardan): ~22.75" weld to weld. ~33.25" overall
Shaft 2 (custom double-cardan): ~19.25 weld to weld. ~28.5" overall.
Shaft 3 (OEM GKN CV): ~23" weld to weld. ~30" overall.
obviously, the weld to weld will differ from OEM specs, partially since I don't know exactly what part of the weld they measure at, and I didn't feel like counting it down to the 1/16th of an inch
