Differential Ratios

[1 TUF AC]

I decided to put the diff in today and I have ran into some problems. The S 15 axles that I got from the wrecker are different length. The left side is okay but the right side is about 40 mm longer. I wonder if the car wreckers gave me the wrong ones. I tryed to put it in anyway but it won't Go in. The left goes in beautiful but the right one won't go in. If anyone's got a s 15 right hand axle laying around I'd be very grateful if they could measure it for me so I can see If the The wrecking Yard gave me the wrong one.

Mate I had the same trouble when I was putting mine together. I swapped the 1/2 shafts from side to side !! They are not the same length either side.
I felt bit of a dill to be honest but fitted like a greasy stick in pig's bum when I swapped 'em over !!

I ended up getting them both in but the right hand side is very tight with only 15mm play. I definitely put them the right way. I think there's a possibility that the wrecker Gave me the wrong Axle. Or this conversion doesn't work on a r32 rear ends. Only r33 rear ends. Might have to get the axles shortened.
