axles sizes?

[Gods Father]

quick question:

which axle is longer? the passenger side or the drivers side? because i put the smaller one on the pass. side and it seemed to fit and the drivers side didnt so i ordered another drivers side and it was the same axle i put on the passenger side. so i dont know whats goin on...not to mention both the axle i put on and the axle i ordered have an extra looking set of splines that run around the outside of the axle like touching the hub...

thanks guys

well the passenger side has a intermediate shaft and it will ONLY fit in the passenger side.

and i believe the spline your talking about is for the ABS.

yea thats what i thought after reading through some of the posts...but as i read i believe you can use those whether you have abs or not right?
