unequal lenght shafts
I've heard that the rear shafts on a 4x4 saff are not the same lenght but are a straight swap for 2wd saff rear shafts.......why is this? and is there any advantage to having equal lenght shafts?

The 2wd shafts are not the same length as each other either. Equal length shafts on fwd cars do help prevent torque steer. If im correct the propshaft would have to be off centre of the body shell to make the shafts at the back the same length. Or make the drive flanges fatter.
