Title: Rear Axle different lengths?
Post by: OregonRuby230 on March 11, 2024, 05:13:30

I replaced all the bearings and seals on my rear axle. I unfortunately didn’t label the shafts. Now I’m second guessing which one goes where?? LONG shaft is 27-15/16” SHORT shaft is 27-5/16” such a small difference, i’m afraid they may fit but be wrong??? Which shaft goes on the driver side (LHD)
Thanks

Are there part numbers stamped on them?

I will check but I don’t recall seeing a stamp.

Thank you,
It seems the longer shaft is on the left side.
