I have read in another post that a gentleman had an issue with disc brake conversion and thence having the axle shaft be too short on the DRIVERS SIDE. His axle shaft didn't engage far enough to get any power.
My issue, I think, it engaged just far enough (1/4 inch) to hold for a few years. Sheared the splines a few days ago under acceleration.
-I have a true-track rear end from a vendor.
-Axle shafts from a vendor as well.
-I was not present when they were assembled in the rear end (not that I would have been able to tell they were too short) just saying that's about all I know of it.
My question: the left axle is a standard length that I got from the vendor. There was no choice at the time if I recall. I bought left, right and pumpkin all at the same time in 2012.
I'm having the third member rebuilt by a shop as there are metal fragments throughout.
-Does this same axle come an inch longer? And do you think that will resolve my issue?
Thanks for looking.
