Front was ok. He sourced for a same measurement rear long shaft (from Japan or Eurpoe) and refitted and it was ok. Total cost which includes labour, centre bearing, prop shaft fibre bush & the longshaft was about RM800.00 The problem our CKD cars faced is the fact that we uses the GM g/box while those available in chop shop are either Jatco or ZF. Hence the difference in the length of the propeller shaft.  Sometimes the chop shop says they have GM box prop shaft but in actual fact these are prop shaft of local cars that have changed their g/box to either manual, ZF or Jatco auto boxes. These chop shop supplying the replacement g/box usually insist on exchange basis. Therefore whatever GM g/box type of prop shaft available at chop shop would have pass it better days.</blockquote>
