180sx VLSD question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have a 1990 180sx with CA18, a VLSD and 6 bolt axles. I took my subframe apart to rebuild everything, and didn't notice that my axles are different lengths. I'm wondering which axle goes on which side.

Thanks.

Tiral and Error

Both will only go in one way.

Look at which side is shorter than the other

I'm not talking about the output shafts, the actual axles themselves are different lengths.

Right, same advice applies

Notice how the left side of the diff housing sticks out more? Thats the shorter side
