What cv axle would you buy for a f5m33 trans with stock knuckles and brakes and 4g63 6bolt. This is only for the driver side. I know the 1989 colt gt turbo passenger axle works, according to my quick driver on it around a bunch of turns.
The driver side cv axle keeps poping out at the trans. It did this a couple of times while driving and sound horrible and jerked me around. I talk once again to THOMCASEY (very helpful and really appreciate his help). He said I could run a awd driver side cv axle with the midshaft (Intermediate shaft) that has a bearing that attaches to the block. I plan on doing this. If anyone has some comments to throw in I am more than willing to listen. Also, I don't know what is currently on the car. It looks new and assumed it was a turbo colt but from talks it sounds like a regular colt gt N/A.

If you use a dsm intermediate shaft and D/S axle you may have to modify the axle seal. I had to buy a new FWD seal and an AWD one and I used black permatex gasket maker to join one on top of the other. Sounds ghetto I know but it worked perfectly and didn't leak. The AWD seal is too small for the FWD trans. Hope this helps...

Colt axel shafts have a shorter splint section on them and the C clip might not be getting far in far enough to lock the axel in place. If you go with the intermediate AWD shaft you'll need a turbo CSM outer half shaft
My Question in response: So what did you do about the seal then J2dapo? Is the dsm awd intermediate shaft bigger or smaller in diameter than the fwd? I had thought I used a dsm awd intermediate with a awd cv in my fwd talon before. I might be wrong. I looked up in the advance auto parts log which is wrong a lot. The driver side trans seal for a awd and fwd is the same. A bit confuseā¦. Which is why I am making this post.
Great Images and to add to the confusion
WTF is the Chrysler Axle Seal Spacer for???

Front the pictures ShawnJ posted, I think I might be able to use a 1989 dodge colt turbo driver side cv axle with a dsm awd intermediate shaft. I say this due to the understanding that the 1989 dodge colt turbo intermediate shaft and cv axle will work for my setup. Too bad I don't have the intermediate shaft for the turbo colt. I do have the awd version. ?????? These are more of a question than statement.
OK for my problem here is what is available out there currently
So I cant buy a 89 colt turbo midshaft (shaft that comes out of driver side trans and bolts to the block via bearing)
I can buy the 89 colt turbo cv axles without the Midshaft mentioned above
I have a 91-94 dsm awd Midshaft. I have a 91-94 dsm awd driver side cv axle.
I have a 89 colt gt NON TURBO driver side cv axle (long cv axle like a fwd dsm but different length than a fwd dsm)
I have a 90 Turbo DsM Fwd driver side cv axle.
I can also buy a drive side non turbo 89 colt gt cv axle also LOOONG CV AXLE.
I just need to know what works best thank guys
