Those are both passenger side axles (provided you're talking about a DC). Niether will work on the driver side.

ah hell no. you serious? they came with the JDM B18C. they are a bit different at the ends. well the one on the right was labelled 'L' and the one on the left was labelled 'R'. i put the 'R' one in the passenger but the 'L' one wouldnt go in the half-shaft for ****!

the car was an EK with JDM b18C swap. would the axles still be different?

See the shaft on the right of this picture. That is what the driverside inner shaft is supposed to look like. You have two passenger side ones.

Passenger side = Male
Driver side = Female

Driver side plugs onto the intermediat shaft pictured above.

the one on the left is the passenger side and the one on the right is the driverside, you can tell by the spline lengths

i think your right but i dont know why they mislabelled them. thats why i was soo confused when i couldnt get the one labelled 'L' in the shaft. i'll try that later on today and see if i can finally get it in. thanks

i think the half-shaft is a JDM one. its off the jdm b18c

Thats a B series half shaft. I just installed one last night on my friend's LS CRX. It came as the midshaft on 90-93 tegs, in the US at least. Just stick both axles into it and see which one clicks in all the way. Your problem is simple and fixed after that.

I'm pretty sure I agree but just stick them together to make sure they work together.

They all bolt up (the mid shafts w/the corresponding axle), so if someone had some extra da axles and they broke the axles on their dc, why not use them. They should work fine on your dc if that's what you're installing them on.
