I'm sure this is a pretty easy one, but I have a 3 rib in a car irs. I also have a lot of spares and just want to make sure I have a set of spare axles. Is it a bus cv on cv end of axle then a car axle and car cv on arm end. And how do I measure to see what is a car and what is a bus cv. Thanks in advance, oh and I could be totally off on all this just let me know, thanks

Axles are 15 and 5/8" long. Sway Away part # 2015.

IMHO 15-5/8" are a bit short when the torsion is up on the stops.
They are constantly pulling on the cages.
I'd rather have the 16-1/4" with long splines for that application.

Thanks Gary, I never installed any before. I only knew Sway Away had that size listed. Thats good to know. Purchacing two sets of axles and replacing broken CVs is is an expensive lesson.
