Chevrolet Bel Air Axle Parts

Even the last Chevrolet Bel Air models produced are considered classic cars at this point, so you will want to keep yours running well. Whether you continue to use a vintage car on a daily basis or simply take it to car shows, you will eventually need to replace the axles. Chevy Bel Air axle parts adhere to the same standards that General Motors has always used for all of its production lines, which makes it easy to find the replacements you need.

What years did the Bel Air use matched axle shafts?

Technically all versions of the Chevrolet Bel Air use matched shaft sets to some degree, but car enthusiasts are usually talking about any Bel Air made from 1959 to 1964 when they use this term. These Bel Air models feature a specific type of axle shaft for both the left and right side of the car, which has led to the distinction.

Does a Chevrolet Bel Air with Positraction need special parts?

While any version of the Chevrolet Bel Air uses the same axle assembly within the same year, the parts you use to connect them will be different if it features the Chevrolet Positraction system. This was the name Chevy used for their limited-slip differential, which allows the two output shafts on your Bel Air to rotate at different speeds. You will need a limited-slip gear train and a special shaft to connect the axles. Make sure these parts match the model year on your vehicle and also features the Chevrolet Positraction brand mark.

Which Chevy Bel Air models used rounded rear end housings?

You will need rounded rear end housing parts if you have any of the following Chevrolet Bel Air models:

  • 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Classic.
  • 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Del Ray.
  • 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Del Ray.
  • 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 150.
  • 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 210.
Can you modify an axle shaft to support Chevrolet Positraction?

Standard parts can be modified to support Chevrolet Positraction technology on some cars. If you have standard shafts from any 1957 to 1962 Chevrolet, then you can cut the axle shaft spline end by exactly one-eighth of an inch, and then turn it into one that supports the limited-differential technology. Some car enthusiasts consider this more authentic than using aftermarket car parts.

Which direction do right and left parts face?

When referring to replacement vehicle components, Chevrolet literature tends to use the terms right and left in reference to the drivers side door. Some vehicle parts actually use the terms driver and passenger side as a result of this convention. If you are confused about which side of the car to install parts on, then check which way the end of the axle shaft faces. There is usually only one way to fit it on the vehicle body, which makes it easy to install car parts that lack labels.
