Axle help

Long story short, I didn't label which axle shaft came from which side on my '99 250sd. One shaft is longer than the other and I don't know which side it goes to.

Welcome to FTE.

I saw your post yesterday, but my only suggestion would have been to stab them axles back in and see which one sticks out....

I guess you figured that out yourself.

There are a lot of questions that end up like this. (look at the FE forum, some guy goofed up his block--no answers for a fix) It's just because no one has the answer, or doesn't want to give a wrong answer, or doesn't want to give an answer that might seem rude etc. ("RTFM", "Here, let me Google that for you" etc are answers like that)


Anyway, best I can do. Many people get great answers here. Some go on and on though, and this might could be one of them.

Good luck with your truck.

Never saw the original post either ...

But I would have measured the the outside from the pumpkin to the flange and put the longer axle inside the longer axle tube .... But maybe I'm over thinking it ....
