Any chance you can provide me the fully compressed length of those dumb bells? TIA
Tape measure or yard stick like this:

 

Somewhere here there is a thread where I already did that comparison and another thread where Brodie did a photo comparison with tape measure.

 

All I can find is 2009 H3 Half Shaft (cv) compared to non 2009 Half Shaft (cv)?
You need to fully compress to get accurate measurements. Looking at the pictures posted you can clearly see the same inner joints to the shaft are at different "relaxed" positions based on the boot bellows contractions. I was just looking for the fully compressed measurement which acd does not disclose anywhere?

 

I am now planning only OEM replacements. Don’t want to chance garbage on my rig?

 

GM is an assembler and ACDELCO is a distributor, who is the OEM?

 

Btw, NTN is the current supplier(OEM). Still trying to find the supplier/manufacturer for the 15886012.
