The left (short) shaft fit perfectly but the right (long) doesn't. It sticks out about a 1/4" to 1/2" out from the seal. I don't want to install it that way compressing the axle. So does anyone have any ideas? Or do I just have to use the J30 ring gear (3.96 ratio) which is fatter making the diff bearing shimming position to the stock point causing the axle output shafts to fit?
i have this problem.

i'm using a j30 vsld, in a s13 pumpkin.

the long axle shaft won't sit flush, but the short fits fine.

how do i fix this?
