I'm looking at buying a driveshaft and it came from a car with an s60 so I'm worried about it being to short, but the stock shaft I have in it now is tight! I know I should go measure but right now the car is in storage and its cold here. I know stock shaft center of u-joints is 40 3/4" if I'm not mistaken. This shaft center to center is a little under 40". Do you guys think this shaft will work and if not will changing just the trans yoke work?

From end to end of driveshaft it's a little over 40 3/4"

Total length with trans yoke it's 46 3/16"

Yes, you must measure, to be absolutely sure--with the full weight of the vehicle on the wheels (they can't be hanging, like from a lift). There are custom drive shaft makers with measuring/fitment guides on the internet. I eventually went with Action Machine, in South Bend, IN

yea thinking of just having a custom one made here locally. Also that way ill have time to get under the car and take some measurements so it will be exact.
