Anyone able to measure the length of an rx8 shaft please?

Also how many splines it has on the ends.

Thanks

Hi   do you still need this ?
i have an RX8 axle in bits on the bench  can measure which ever bit you need

[Grant Monkhouse]

Yes please.

The complete end to end with the ends cups on.

Also how many splines are on the shaft that goes in the diff and the other end that sits in the hub.

Thankyou very much

which  side do you want  as they are going to be different lengths   ?

i think  the splines where it goes into the diff    30 number and its 30mm in diameter    but i will check when im there tomorrow   as my memory is getting on just like me lol

if youve got good eyes you might be able to count them on here

[Grant Monkhouse]

Both axle lengths please.

Wonder why the rx8 shafts are shaped like that? The mx5 ones are fat all down the buddle.

Prety sure the rx8 shafts you have and the mx5 ones I have are the exact same length.

Been googling for ages now but any related info I find the people on the forums don't let it be known common knowledge and every thread ends up with "send me private message and I will help you"

Here's the mx5 shafts for comparison, they just look more beefier

Rx8 30 spline
Going to have a recount though
