Default something weird with my axles...

so i changed my axles out today...got it all done for free but i had to do the work bc my dad never told my his friend owns a shop that makes axles and all that good stuff. so anyways they got me some axles and i installed them my self..i didnt believe Sabastian or 4doorh22 when they told me it was gonna be an easy job..but anyways it was a snap...bout an hour all together...but the weird thing was that on the passenger side the axle had already been replace with an aftermarket one...but it wasnt for a 94-97 it was a 90-93....how is this possible? the axle was about .5 inches shorter. now whenever i need to work on my car i can use his lift and all the tools i need...its like i was in heaven!! thanks guys!!

but the weird thing was that on the passenger side the axle had already been replace with an aftermarket one...but it wasnt for a 94-97 it was a 90-93....how is this possible? the axle was about .5 inches shorter.

Excellent dude.
Well, the axles also telescope a bit, so probably can make up for that 1/2 difference. Not ideal but should work.

Hopefully. Otherwise the tulip joint will pop out and all hell breaks loose...
