US and Canadian axles different?
I'm swapping a KLZE into my 92 protege and I'm having trouble with the driver side axle...passenger side went in just fine. I did get all my stuff from Canada and I've been told that a particular year (I think 1995) used a different set of axles and possibly spindles. Is it possible I got this strange axle and that's why it seems too long? I've been trying to get a hold of another axle but I'm having a hard time. I'm in Brooklyn right now if anyone could hook me up or know a source please let me know.

The spindle change did not effect the axle only the lower ball joint and steering arm. Any year axle should work that I know of... However, just use the one that you took from the K8. If you don't have that one for some reason then but a axle for your year car and you'll be fine.
