Default Differential output shaft replacement

Since the majority of the croud here have moved up from C5's the replacement of output shafts is very familiar. I have a C6 Z06 differential apart right now and the LH (long) shaft is the same size as the OE shaft found in the previous C5 diffs . The RH (short) shaft has been upgraded to a two piece style like we have been doing for a while in the aftermarket world. I'm sure there will be a lot of broken shafts in the near future

Sounds like they were designed for failure .... to protect the tranny/clutch.

With all the wheel hop being experienced .... its gonna Blow.

But, good business is sure to come your way Rodney ...
