Are the driver and passenger rear axle shafts in a JK different lengths? I upgraded to ten factory chromoly shafts and the ones that I took out appeared to be the same length so I didn't think much about it. Then I saw someone listing a "passenger side" rear axle shaft and some google searches indicated that some people had different lengths. I'm wondering if someone knows if the Ten Factory MOTMG22156 are different lengths before I pull them both back out and compare. It's Saturday so I can't call the company.

The D44 Rear lengths can range from 32 -34.5. Only the fronts have a wider range of lengths because the D30 is off set. I believe yours falls into the 31.89 range length.

According to there website they are the same length for the rear but the fronts are different lengths.
Thanks. I guess the part number is MG22156. It looks like my old ones are both about 31.5" from the wheel flange to the end of the shaft. I just pulled the driver and its the same length (I might as well fix the parking brake). So, I can't imagine the other one would be shorter and the short one is supposed to be on the driver.
When I first ran the number nothing came up. But later ran the number again based on BlackJKU's response the numbers came up. The issue is if you're buying off ebay etc.. you may not get the correct info or numbers you need. But then again, if the seller's info is off one wouldn't be sure what they are getting. Always refer to the manufactures site for information. I feel the person who said "passenger side" was just stating they remove the part from the passenger side etc.
That's why I posted the Link to the Mfg's site, it shouldn't be the wrong info that way. Somehow things seem to change by the time it gets passed to different Vendors.
Thanks. That's embarrassing. I looked right at that page and didn't see the length until you pointed it out. Thanks again.
