VLSD axle problem

[socalPignose]

when i put up my VLSD one axle bolted on but felt like the bearings were too out and werent gonna hold but then the other side wouldnt even fit then i switched the axles thinking one was smaller than the other and the same problem happen.. i have 300z axles would those fit?

so you are putting a VLSD in your S13?

what did the VLSD come out of?

one axle is shorter than the other one..

I'll say it again, even though im sure i'll get some people saying im wrong, but here goes.

For S13:
When using axles from a J30 5 or 6 bolt (I know the OP is using Z32 thats even worse) you will get away with one axle (if using J30 axles) working and the other being to long which causes the axle to fit way to tight and not allow for any play in the universal joint cup bearing holder thingy and there needs to be.

To get OEM fitment you need JDM 5 bolt axles, actually only one of them I forgot which side and the other came be from a J30 but who does that...lol

300zx 5 bolt axles are longer than j30s...

yes on my s13 and i got a z32 VLSD

one fit with alit of play and it didnt seem like the bearings inside would hold the axle and then the other one just wouldnt fit at all it was too long
