8mm length difference between LSD & Non-LSD axles. Non-LSD are 8mm longer.

So if you've got an OEM lsd, but non-lsd axles you cut 8mm off the ends (splines are plenty long enough) and bevel/taper the end so it will insert easily.


I found this out a little while back when I had the opportunity with both available to me.

I'm mainly after the length of the Spline'd section.

[jdm70]

so wat you guys are sayin is if i welded up my zenki diff i can put kouki axles in if i take 8mm off them?

Can you see the pictures above?

They differ in O.D by over a mm, so the answer is no they arent interchangable at all
