5 bolt axle install problems

[s13silvia123]

ok i bought some five bolt axles. is one suppose to be shorter than the other. i bought it recently. when i install the other one wont fit. or i have to switch it to the other side. the on longer side wont fit on to the vlsd where the shorter side is spuppose to be but when i took out the axles they both were the same size in length. is it suppose to be like that.

one should be a tad bit shorter.

yes the there is supposed to be a shorter one.

alrite i knew when i was looking at the oem axles. i'll take the side that i put on and see if its the same length. if its the same lenght then the person i bought it from sent me one wrong axle.

the one have are 5 bolt i already have the 6 bolt axles

[punxva]

how much of a size difference are they or are they the same?

just a thought, cause you would be able to use your stock 6 bolt axles with the 6 bolt vlsd output shafts i have. i believe sourcing ANY vlsd output shafts is difficult, usually people wont sell it seperate from the differential

all problems fixed now but one thing in mind is that i cant get one axle in. the shorter axle wont go all the way in. is thuere a better way to put it in with out all the hassale the of the bearings poping out all the time.
