wtf? wrong sized axle diameter?

so i'm finally replacing my right inner driver/axle (outer cv was shot anyway). also while i'm in there replacing ball joints, tie rod end, and shocks. parts from sobstory. anyway, got everything apart without a problem. tripod bearings looked intact, but there was a divot on (only) 1 of the the thrust surfaces, which i guess was causing the shaking under power. started putting the axle back together, and get stuck putting the spindle back on the axle. for 2 freakin' hours, i can't figure it out. tried the old 1, and it slid right in. took them both out, and it looked like the new one was slightly bigger. took out the calipers, and sure enough the new splines were 4mm bigger in diameter. so now it's dark, it's friday evening, i'm pissed, and there's a half put-together car sitting outside my house. did i get a) the wrong part (did they come in different diameters?) or b) a defective part?. hopefully i'll be able to find one locally tomorrow and finish up, but i'm still not happy about it...
