<VV> LM Rear Axle:Caps and races different lengths on same U-joint?

[Paul Fox]

It shouldn't be like that unless you mixed them up. There are different manufacturers of  u-joints. They all fit as they should but can't interchange parts amongst them selves.

Hi again,

 

Thanks for the help with the jack issues.

 

New issue with half-shaft U-joints:

 

I could not squeeze, cajole, plead with axle into outboard rear wheel (in
board worked OK) .

 

Opposite sides of same U-joint are different lengths?

 

How many kinds of U-joints were there, such that I have a mixed bag of
parts?

 

Needle bearing are different lengths and diameters?!?!?

 

Charlie
