u would think. autozone has like a few different brand axles. all of them but 1 had identical part numbers as the gsr. well the one they gave me was that 1 that was different. the gsr axles i got fit just fine

did you try to "burp" the boot? sometimes new CV axles are like that. Just wedge a screw driver under one end of each boot and it should allow an air pocket to escape and the axle should be long enough then.

or they gave you the wrong axles. but try to burp them first.

The only difference between the RS and GSR axles is that the GSR has a collar around the outside that works in conjunction with a sensor on the knuckle for the ABS system.
