Where can I get the bolt that holds the cross shaft in on an 8.2 posi rear? My parts store only shows one and it is too big. Is the one for an 8.5 or 12 bolt larger or did my parts man screw up? Thanks!

Later, Murf

As far as I know, almost all GM rears use this same bolt. It is a GM part ONLY. The bolts are different for 10, 12bolt, posi, non-posi. http://www.chevelles.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.gif

The bolt for the 8.2 posi should be the same one as the 12 bolt posi. The 8.5 uses a completely different bolt. They are still available at the GM dealer.
