123 vs 126 vs 116 axle shaft interchange
I would like to know if the axles on a 123, 116, and 126 are the same. I suspect that the 116 and 126 may be the same, but maybe not the 123. I have been seeing newish axles on some cars at the wrecking yards lately (mostly on 126's) and have been tempted to pull them. Not knowing if they will interchange, I left them alone. Thanks in advance for your input.....Rich

The 123 shafts are shorter than the 116. You can tell the difference in length as the longer ones have 3 raised rings cast in the center of the shaft. Don't know about the 126- but I would guess they are also longer than the 123s. Hope this helps.

I believe the 123 126 are interchangible. Check for parts numbers on our parts vendors here.

I seem to have read the 126 is wider in the wheel track and the 123/126 axles won`t swap back and forth.
check the part# in the buy tab above. they should be different. the Differentials will swap back and forth, up to the 85 126. Since the Clunker progran, there are a lot of good axles and other 126 parts showing up at the yards. act fast, they only keep them about a month. Charlie

I still need to know if the 116 and 126 will interchange. I don't want to remove one from each car to compare. There isn't too many 123's in the yard, but at least a dozen 126's. I have a 116, so I would like to get an extra axle for it if a 126 one will fit.
