Michele Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Goodmorning all, just got my HD rear axles (1997 90,24 splines) Everything should be fine, I just have a question...er...is one axle longer then the other,isn't it? I don't remember... Tell me so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 The halfshaft lengths are different side-to-side, as the diff isnt in the middle, and the fronts are shorter than the backs as the fronts have the CV and stub axle on. Any use? Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted September 20, 2005 Author Share Posted September 20, 2005 Yap! I was sure the rear diff was in the middle of the axle. Don't ask me why! Can't wait to fit them. Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboy Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Michele,... and the front axle casing is narrower than the back because of the swivels on the ends of the front ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatboy Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 ... and when building new axles off the truck, the short side is on the right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 (edited) Hub to Hub both should be the same, if you mean front to rear length of the diff case to propshaft flange IIRC this is the same for 90's, only 110/130's with Salisbury rear axles would it be different. hope that helps I've ditched the duplicate post as well.
