Jim,
I am reasonably certain that the only difference, if any, is the
length of the front portion. The slip joint should be the same. There is
a double constant-velocity u-joint in the center also--right behind the
support bearing, I seem to remember. By the way, all drivelines must
include a slip joint somewhere to allow change of length as the rear axle
moves up and down. Of course, if the differential is rigidly mounted, as
in some independent rear suspension systems, then none would be needed.
Regards,
Dave Kernberger
