Stuart, I don't know the answer to your question but will ask another. Is this pictured tailshaft from a vehicle with an independent rear suspension where the diff is fixed to the vehicle or from a car with a solid diff which would move with the wheels? I would expect the tailshafts to be different but I do not know.
Mm.

Hi Mm,
I hand't thought of that, the only one I know is the VT and it has independent rear, but the link to the CVs say they suit VB-VX. The VT was the first of the independent rear.
Still just because it might not make sense doesnt mean they wouldnt do it lol. Lots of cars have three Universal Joints.

Just had a look down the back as I have a few here.
Most 1-2 piece tail shafts have the spline sliding in and out, where the CV type use the CV, as it has grooves down the sides of the outer.This eliminates the need to have long splines. The commodore still have the centre of the CV splined but it is only short to connect the front half and has a curclip holding it in their.
