Default Stock Axle Information Needed

Does anyone have any info on stock axle CVs?

Inner Spline: 34?
Outer Spline: 30?

I don't have any on-hand atm.

LOL I ordered 2 CTS axles in the meantime, as I believe the outer cvs are the same.

My question is to find out the specifics of these CV joint splines, and to see if there's any other comparable CV joints that may work.

I was specifically looking at the 08+ non-V CV joints.

Update:

Outer spline 30. Found the piece I broke off and counted the splines. Counted the CTS V6 outer I have here, 30 spline.

Had ordered one of these here:

If any of you guys break an outer CV, at least now you know a V6 will be compatible. I have yet to count the splines on my spare V inner and my V6 inner, but I believe them to be the same as well, which may be 34 spline?

Let us know if that part works. I'm suspicious of my CV axle causing noise.

Well, here are some old pics and pics for comparison purposes.

This is an 06 and 04 inner cv


This is 06 and 04 outer CVs.




This is the outer CV for a 2008+ CTS (non-V)


This is the inner cv for a 2008+ CTS (non-V)


I confirmed both the 04+ and the 08+ use 30 spline outer CVs. The inner CVs appear different, and it seems the 08+ inner may not clear the V1.
