76 delta88 hurst royale/Landau
I have a bad axle, the stock one is 2” short. The car was partially built by hurst. My mechanic can’t find a replacement. 😟 any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
It was my dads car and I really want to drive it.

Hi Joe,
Sorry for the poor explanation. The shop working on my car ordered a new axle based on the stock part number for a 1976 delta 88. Evidently in the rear end in my car the axle is 2” longer than the part received. He can’t identify or find the correct axle.
I told him this model 2 door Royale Crown Landau was completed by Hurst. Is it possible they fitted a different rear end in the car?

The shop needs to be 100% certain of the axle housing in your car - it could be an 8.875" Pontiac axle or a 9.3" Type O axle. Neither of these are easy to get parts for, which is why I suspect they ordered (or at least received) the wrong part. No vendor has them on the shelf. If you can't find a good used axle shaft, you'll need to have one custom made from a vendor like Moser.

dO YOU HAVE THE OLD AXLE SHAFT?
Please measure the full length with the picture provide below for measuring your axle correctly
Next we need to count the axle spline. 28 or 31 spline
Now we need a picture of your rear cover,
are your axles bolt or c-clip retention?
