Re: axle question
The 90 axle will work, if you also use the other one and the carrier out of the 90.
No that axle will not work in your rear as it now sits.
88-back rears have 26 splines on the axle and side gears, 90-up have 28. But the housings and gears and all that are interchangeable.

Yes.
It'd be alot easier to put the 90 carrier and axles into the early rear, and leave the gears alone, though.
