89 axle shafts

[TrekLawler]

Anyone have any thoughts on where to buy axle shafts for an 89 TC? finding out this year is the odd year on these which are equal length units. I've searched everywhere with no luck.

Is yours an 8 valve or 16 valve car? Shafts are different between the 2 engines.

Single overhead cam 8 valve engine. I found one today but the supplier indicated these are obsolete and will not be made any longer. the boots on my car are torn and with it sitting in an non environmental storage area looks to be dried up and rusted. so not sure how long it was driven like this before being put into storage.

Thanks everyone, have a couple of them ordered from NAPA. one of the originals looked rebuildable, but all had torn boots. gave me a good opportunity to replace the output shaft seals in the tranny anyway.

Be sure to look at the ABS ring! The TC uses a specific ring and if you try to use a "Chrysler" unit, you WILL chew up your ABS sensor as the "Chrysler" ring is a slightly larger diameter.

Regarding this difference in the circumference / diameter of the 'Tone Wheel', it is ALWAYS necessary to check the clearance between the Tone Wheel and the ABS sensor AT THE TIME OF REPLACEMENT of the drive axle. The ABS sensor is ADJUSTABLE! The clearance should be "approximately" the thickness of an old matchbook cover, specifically (7mm / .028 inch).

Didn't have to worry about the ABS ring with the new axles as I removed the ABS for the vacuum driven brake system. I was able to get the complete ABS wiring harness removed from the car. just completed the complete front end rebuild which included new axles, tranny seals, brakes, rotors, rebuilt calipers, brake lines and struts. now on to the rear of the car.
