im lookin at new CV Axles online..and i found some for little over $70 a piece..BUT..it says they fit EITHER the driver side or passenger side...it doesnt have a different shaft for each side...as in its saying they are both the same length....idk if im missing something..but by the looks of it..the passenger axle is significantly shorter than the driver side...anybody got any ideas?

Here's a link to the site

They're the same length on our trucks. Or our Corolla, they're different lengths.

The website says likewise if you look closely:

"Fit Note: "Fits Passenger Or Driver Side, 4WD, Front Shaft"."

I recently installed two new front axles (Cardone) on my 95 SR5, about $90 each, about $20 more than reman axles.
They fit pretty good except for the groove where the 'C' ring goes in to hold the serrated axle washer was not exactly where the stock groove was. The groove was a few hundredths of an inch, about the width of the washer, too close to the bronze bushing. It was impossible to get the washer and 'C' clip back in the groove without modifying the washer.
If I had to do it again, I would make sure the washer and clip fit before bolting the axle shafts to the differential flange. If the groove was too close to the bushing, as it was in this case, I would probably take a few hundredths off the bushing, surface it nice and flat. If you got axles later where the groove was in the correct location, you could add an extra washer.
I don't know if this is a common thing with aftermarket axles, but it's something you might want to check as you install them.
