What do you mean? They don't look like they were made by Porsche or they don't look like they will fit our cars?

Reno, that sucks - I would recommend buying these items from someone like Zims or Paragon - specialized Porsche shops. For small items you can probably get away with going to Autozone but I would be concerned about buying anything as important as an axle from anyone but a well known Porsche specialist.
BTW - any pics of your Shelby? Definitely my favorite car of its time and one of my top 5 favorites all time. Nice garage.

Are you sure their part number was correct? You might have gotten the wrong part or wrong offset.

They probably had splines on them? I bought a set once like that, was rather disappointed. Turns out they mistook a 6 for an 8 in a part number, problem solved. That was with NAPA though.

YUP Zero it did have splines on them.
944 Fanatic- sure i will take pictures however i must worn you it doesnt look alike a shelby just looks like a 67 fastback. It becuase the scopes and hood Fiber glass were in horrible shape so i took it and put gt parts in it that my dad has (dad collects Mustangs). Now am waiting for the elenor kit backed order for 9 months now. Can't wait. I just pulled the motor part and rebuilt. Cam lifted the rocker off when my 2 step msd failed reved at 10 grand. when it was supose to hold until 9. lol had a good run 11.23 sec on the track, street tires nothing specail.

The Autozone shafts for my 86 Turbo are $89/ea and $79/ea for the 83. That's with a LLW "Limited Lifetime Warranty" to original buyer.

Can anyone scare up some P/N's? When mine go out, I woulden't mind a lifetime warranty if we can find the P/N for our cars!

Here's the auto part numbers they show:
Car Part # Core charge Price Maker
86-87 Turbo 7540 $45 $99.99 CCT
60-7077 $85 $79.99 Cardone


83 N/A 60-9055 $115 $79.99

I take no responsibility for these being correct they are from their website:
