1995 VLSD driver side axle

Does anyone have the "code" for this part? I'm calling for a driver side axle tomorow and I'll probably need some sort of letter or code, but I left my car at the track (i.e don't have access to it right now).

Well you can't do much on a Sunday and I don't believe they have LSD for 1995 Maximas in the US, so I suggest you call a stealership tomorrow and find out what the part number is and then go from there. You might be able to get one from an autowrecker but would have to ensure it had LSD.

I have LSD on my 95SE but you can't have it, lol!

The 2 splines have nothing to do with Auto or 5spd...

The two splines is for both sides of the LSD....if there was one spline, it would be for an open diff tranny.

This axle is for a 5spd w/ABS ring

Well, I guess I was wrong. Is an LSD axle available aftermarket in the US, but not on factory-equipped models? What year 4th Gens are equipped with factory LSD?

Just canadian Models were factory LSD until you get to the Anniversary Edition in 2000...Some guys are putting LSD's in there cars from Canadian Models or 00' AE which are really rair

Is there a difference? I can get a rebuild one for less than a hundred.

Its build Quality, the gear lube they use on the splines, the rubber boot quality, just all that kind of stuff. Call up Marty at Raxles and he'll explain to you the difference.

Its like Mobil 1 Oil and Shop Rite Oil...you can spend $4.50/qt or $.89/qt, its up to you

i got my AE axles to go with my tranny from O'Reilly's auto. it comes with lifetime warranty, so im not complaining. i doubt gettin better axles will give me better gas mileage or be better for my engine, just perhaps last longer. but these cost me about 150 for both and have a lifetime warranty.

The ones I am looking at have a 1 year warranty. I snapped the axle because of continuous 1.7 and 1.8 60 foots so I guess this wont be the last I snap. 1 year is fair.

Ok, that makes sense.

The reason it looks weird is because I dont remember there being a spiral section on my 5spd lsd axles. Just recently did new 5spd lsd raxles on my frieds 96 and he did have it either. It was on my auto open diff axle though...
