1990 K5 front axle shaft

[350K5TBI]

I broke the right inner axle shaft on my blazer. It is the 30 spline axle. I am having trouble finding one or a part number. Does anyone have a guide or a source for these?(aside from rockauto)

If you gotta swap it out, go ahead and spend the extra few dollars to do a Chromoly shaft. You won't go back to replace that one anytime soon.

Just be careful. The '90 should have a 30-spline 10-bolt front axle which is fairly rare as compared to the more common 28-spline version. The Dana 44's used back in the '70's were 30-spline and about the same diameter but are different........different overall lengths, seal locations, and pressure angles on the splines. A lot of people want to say the commonly available D44 shafts are the same but they are not.
