I ran into another issue .... found a LH SVX drive axle to swap on the RH side. I checked the grooves for the CV joint snap ring within the Quaife diff. They are way too deep for the SVX LH joints to catch.
The Quaife is marketed for all 1993-2000 Legacies and Imprezas.
This makes me think that the Legacy CVs might have longer splined sections (though the 1997 Sti shafts I looked at had the same length as the LH SVX has). If you look at the photo in the link the nose does look longer.

You guys who have swapped to later rear diffs how have you handled this? The shafts slide into the diff ok, but the snap rings will not catch the grooves.
Anybody?
Thanks,
Tapani
