VX compatible drivers side half haft

[MSHardeman]

Does anyone know if we share a drivers side hal shaft (the splined axle with the "green cup" that goe into the front axle housing) with any other Isuzu or car/truck? I've heard that our stance is narrower than other Isuzu's from some sources and a wider stance from others. Anybody have any experience with this?

I thought I had read somewhere that the Honda Passport had the same axles in them. I may be confusing them with something else though.

Lemme contact RCV & see if they destroyed mine in the reverse engineering process or if it's still available. If it's available, I'll work something out with them to ship it directly to you.

Get the #&@* out!! Tom, that is an amazing offer!! I love this family.

I know it's not a done deal, so if anyone does know if we share a drivers side half shaft with anything else, or if there is an aftermarket version floating around, it would be good to know.

I just spoke with both Craig & Sean at RCV. Craig is the salesman & Sean is the Engineer.

Sean is going to try to get all of his detailed measurements from my half shafts this week. He will be able to return everything after he completes that.

He will also be able to get us a cost estimate then as well.

I think that I'll have him return the axles to me so that I can check a few things before I send that one shaft & outer race to you.

BTW, for future reference (according to Sean):

Half shaft refers to the entire axle assembly which includes the axle (sometimes referred to as bar or rod) from the pumpkin, inner CV, the splined shaft between the CVs (he called it the center bar), the outer CV & the outboard axle that splines into the wheel assembly.

The 'CVs for Dummies' pdf that I posted long ago shows the proper names for the other components.
