So it has came to my attention from Jeffie that our passenger side axles are no longer made as the correct assembly. So I went looking locally around here, and no one but one Autozone had any stock, and of the 11 they had only one that looked correct.
Added now...Old pics came from Matt, "GlowingCavy: Boosted Z" Thanks man.
So this is old and new ends. Wheel end.

Trans end Old vs new.

So this is for the jack shaft setup? My understanding was they did away with it and went to a one long piece design?
