Default So I decided to chang my axles

I've had a hell of a hard time finding some that were actualy gonna fit on my car. I've done this onec already. just to have to put the old one back in.. today, I tore into the drivers side front to change out the axle. To my supprise it only took me about 15 min to get the old one out. but upon laying it next to the new one I noticed soming wrong.



What the **** am I supposed to do about that. That really chaps my ***. Its the right part number and everything. but for some reason it just happens to be five inches to short. **** this, I'm tired of dealling with people that cant get you what you orderd. I don't know what I'm gonna do now. I just feel like burning it. insurace will pay me more.

One side is shorter than the other. The engine/ tranny isnt exactly in the middle, both of mine were taken out, one was shorter than the other.
