Rear axle identification
« on: December 10, 2022, 03:54:32 PM »
I have a GM rear end 3894859 that has 28 spline axles and the length is 28 1/2 inch from outside flange to end of axle. Thought the rear end was out of a 70s Camero, but I cannot find that length anywhere. It appears to be a 8.2 by the rear cover design and has the c-style clips to hold the axle in.

Does anyone have any ideas. As always, thanks.

Thanks Ed, but I don't see the axle length.

Sorry..guess I don't fully understand the question.  Have a pile of GM rear ends in my barn.

The axles I pulledd out of this rear end need replacing. All I know is the code on the rear end is 3894859 N and it is an 8.2 supposably from a 69 or 70s era Camero. The axles are 28 spline and are 28 1/2 from back  of flange to end of axle. I cannot find any that length. Thank  Ed

Do they measurer 28 1/2 from back of spline to the end? Thanks for looking...

Great part about this hobby is we're all trying to help each other out!
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

This little group is amazing. There is more help and support here than there are people.  :o :)

Thanks Ed, soeey it took me so long to get back. I tend to get side tracked a lot lately. Right after I responded to you I located the axles. Thanks for the offer, all you guys are great...
