Which axle is which & am I crazy? Posted by Justin VanAbrahams [Email] ![]() ![]() |
My recollection is that the driver's side (left) axle is substantially shorter than the passenger's side (right) axle - is that correct?
If so, does anybody happen to know by about how much? I don't have anything to compare with right now.
The situation is: About a month ago I bought an emergency spare driver's side axle from Kragen for our LeMons car - I didn't look at it when I bought it, I just took the box with me to the race. We didn't need it, and today I decided to install it on my convertible. Well, the one in the box is about 2" or so longer than the one off the car. So I hustle down to Kragen 'cause they have another one in stock. It's also too long. So I go over to NAPA - ALSO too long. Autozone? Too long.
WTF? Is there a bunch of right axles floating around the parts universe mismarked as left side, or am I nuts?
I am not sure what to do with this axle - it *looks* right (just too long), but now I'm concerned that I have a left axle for another car. If it's just a mismarked right side, I'll hang onto it as a spare...
Thanks!
