    I have heard that that is the case (mixing the inner and outer shafts) - but hopefully someone can chime in with solid information.

    I haven't a clue whether they're of similar lengths, whether they'll bolt straight up, etc..

    Looking into this further I could run some v6 hubs from the v6 camry
    And use the gt4 drive shafts and cvs

    Am I in the right track at all?

    If your using the v6 box you'd use the v6 hubs and driveshafts.

    ok this is back off the back burner

    secured the v6 box no probs

    now i was given the shafts (v6) inc the intermediate shaft , sorry my terminology may be off

    and can grab the v6 front hubs inc brakes easy


    Im getting mixed messages about the drive shafts as im using the v6 box axles and hubs I thought that would be ok

    but some are saying i may need to mix shafts and cvs? and i cant see why?

    Any input is always welcome.

    regards

    Is the V6 box out of the same shape Camry? If it's in its factory position then surely all factory v6 hear would be the go.
