Good rice on CV joints. Just have to trade out the axle.
33 splines is correct.

Be careful. I wouldn't order more than one of either of them until seeing
what I got. ALL the replacement axles will have the correct outer
splines. Just as important for the GMC is how many splines on the axle
shaft -- many of the CV joints supplied over the past few years do NOT --
the CV's are apparently from some other vehicle, requiring them to use
new/modified axles with corresponding spline patterns. Those axles ARE NOT
interchangeable with the GMC's.

The photos look right, but you know how that goes -- sort of like their
claim that those are RIGHT side axles -- L & R are the same on the
Toronado ('tho' not on the Eldorado, which has a damper weight on the axle
on one side -- insignificant when we replace the axle).

Bruce, watch out as the set from Red China will have a different spline
than the origional.
You never need to aquire parts from us, but we know as our customers have
informed us .
