I have bought a diff which i think is either from a jdm ae86 or maybe a te series corolla, anywayz it came with axles and centre from a ra40 and when i bolt the axle up on the rhs the bearing will almost seize, i put the same axle in the lhs and its fine. They have both been shaved down but one has been shaved more than the other and its actually been shaved on a angle lol.
I have replcaced both bearings, checked in the housings for any obstructions and it all looks good.
I have been told that i will have to grind 10mm of the original length of the axles for it to fit cause the ra40 diff's were like 20mm longer than other t-series.
It makes sense that the axle would have to be shorter on the pinion side of the diff, but how much should i take of, i don't know what the original length of the shafts were.
Has anyone has had any experience with this before? Or maybe used ra40 axles in a ae86 housing?
Cheers.
