Careful Ike intermediate shafts are hard to come by!  Rockauto online has passenger axles for 75 bucks;)

I know Ken, exactly what i was thinking... im going to throw another reman in there for now...see how long it can last first... i know kuntzie had wicked problems with the passenger axle but i believe it was because he was lowered too much and threw things off.  Oh Jimmy, once i talk to them on the phone i have no problem supplying you their number.

well she moves again at least!  im thinking the reman axles i got are too short on passenger side, the tripod rollers ride close to the edge of the inner housing... its supposed to be able to slide in and out but i think its riding way to far out... thats what happend the other day, it popped completely out of the housing.   I brought them the 2 pieces and they reconditioned it for me cause nothing was broke... Something is not right. can anyone here with a 282 tell me does the tripod ride THAT close to the edge on passenger side?  im guess they used the wrong out shaft somehow.
heres a few pics when i removed it.

Oh i see that , thats pretty sweet. thanks Ken.  I might just order one cause noone else is having problems like this.

boy is it dead around here!  Axle is all better now, they used the wrong shaft by accident.   Good to know that wont happen again.
