Thanks for reply. Yea I know shafts diff length. But I'm buying diff and shafts together. Just Wana no. Will they bolt up to lower arms. Or have I got to modify lower arms. Thanks mike.

that i don't know if the beams came from a disc or a drum brake setup. The mounting between beam and bearingcasing may be diffrent. And im remember they where.

But i dont not know for sure sorry.

The push in shafts don't fit the lsd, you will need bolt on shafts for that. The cv joints on the bolt on shafts are thicker and don't fit the arms for the push in shafts. From what I've heard it should be possible to replace the inner cv joints on the push in shaft with the bolt on cv joints to fit the lsd. But I've never done it and have not seen pictures of it being done. But in general the guy who told me did know what he was talking about.
