sierra drive shafts

[Ricky]

Hi guys I have a question I recently got a sierra diff with one drive shaft a right hand drive shaft and then a got a drive shaft at a scrap yard but I did not remember if I had a left hand one or right so I got a right now I'm sitting with two rights and I would like to know if I can use it for the left hand side:confused:

I have not checked mine but I am sure they are slightly different lengths and one has a right hand thread hub nut and the other left handed so would say no good dude....I sure some one will come along and confirm.

Thanks guys for your help guess I have to get a left just always thought they would be the same cause the diff is in the center and my drive shafts are the push in ones

Diff is central in car but the actual diff itself is offset,interesting thing and dont know the answer is the Ginetta G20 shafts are equal length with Sierra diff.

Does anyone have a pair of the push in type side shafts that are a left and right that they could measure and just confirm for me so that if they are different I can try and change them on monday. Please

They are definitely different lengths. Furthermore, they have got opposite theads on the wheel side. If I recall correctly, the left one has a left hand thread.
