Axle replacement.

I have a 91 Formula with 3.42 ratio and posi trac and I am in need of
replacing the passenger side axle. I've looked over the 10-bolt FAQ and
was wondering if anyone could verify or answer an few questions that I have.

Will any 10-bolt axle from 90-92 work in my car, and does it have to come from
a rear disc vehicle?

Are the axles equal length, or do I need to find a passenger side axle?

Re: Axle replacement.

I just found a note in the FAQ that all axles are 30 5/16" long, I missed that before, sorry.

Re: Axle replacement.

All the 82-92 third gens axles are the same length. Both sides are the same length. Using 90-92 28 spline axles in a 82-89 diff just requires a 28 spline carrier. Only third gen axles are that specific length so finding an axles from an S10 etc won't fit.
