Years ago when I bought my car drive shaft was in the car transmission was in the trunk maybe the drive shaft was from another vehicle I struggled to get it to fit and towed it to aamco they must if loosed the rear to fit the ds in. Now that it’s being worked on mechanic tells me I need to cut an inch and a half. I’m confused about this as well I’ve been driving every day for 4 months and it had some vibration at take off I thought it may just be u joints but then the carrier broke

if you don't want to spring for a really nice new shaft from Denny's there should be a drive shaft shop locally that can fix you up.
I think a local shop can fix you up cheaper than a member shipping you one we have replaced.
51 1/2 is the correct length to tell the drive shaft shop, just to double check what the other shop said was needed.

Came here to say this. Driveshafts aren't rocket science. Find a local shop and they can crank it out, usually overnight.
