Have a 2002 gem need a half shaft ASAP in San Diego. Does anybody know of a certain maker model at AutoZone that would possibly work or does anybody have one locally they’d be willing to sell? ---

> [@Bigeric619](#): > > need a half shaft ASAP in San Diego. Does anybody know of a certain maker model at AutoZone that would possibly work I don’t recall ever hearing of any alternate / auto-parts store half-shafts. Maybe a golf cart shop or UTV/ATV service can match something up… Regarding GEM half-shafts on classic models: 1999-2004 GEMs, both half shafts are identical length and interchangeable, so there is only one part number. 2005-up classic 72v GEMs, the Right and Left half-shafts are different lengths. The left (long) half-shaft will NOT fit 1999-2004 or vice versa as it is a different length than the earlier ones. A custom driveline shop or transmission shop may be able to repair the old shaft. Otherwise, maybe someone is parting out an old GEM or try eBay or NEVA: > **[Gem Half Shaft (99-04) – NEV ACCESSORIES](https://nev-accessories.com/product/gem-half-shaft-c-v-1999-2004/)**
