Hey guys, I have a separate thread concerning output shafts, but cant seem to get this question answered along with my others, so im wondering, plain and simple; Is this 6 bolt set of "vlsd" output shafts I ordered legit, or are they just plain output shafts??

the reason I ask is because the long one is too long for my VLSD I have laying here...

One on the left is out of the VLSD, one on the right is from the set I bought

Were is the shorter one? if you have the pair of 6 bolt haft shaft's it should work, and are you putting them in a vlsd? You can cut it to work as well.

People are saying they can be cut down, but That just seems wrong to me.. all of the oil slingers and breaks in the flange will be in different locations internally.

I have the shorter one also.

These are 6 bolt shafts, they were supposed to be from a J30 VLSD. I had this VLSD that came with the car and had 5bolt shafts... needed 6 bolt shafts for it to work.

Technically, I also have another set of 6bolt output shafts on my OEM NON VLSD that is in the car right now

I just want to make sure what this guy sold me were in fact, J30 VLSD shafts

I want to know if I need to file for a paypal claim really. I bought these as a means of converting my 5bolt LSD to a 6bolt LSD. Everything I have read is that LSD and non LSD output shafts do not interchange. Im also reading that there are different length LSD output shafts.

SOooo im just trying to figure out what I really have here.
