At what point is an inner dana 44 axle too short for a specific application?
For example, lets say my axle requires a stock length axle long side inner of 33.5 inches. Now lets say I have a warn shaft that measures 33.25 inches. Will the 1/4" shorter shaft make a huge difference? I'm assuming I'll just have a little less spline engagement? At what point do I draw the line....i.e. if a 1/4" short works will 3/4" short work? Just kicking around some ideas...
Thanks,
Mike
