V-6 Camry axle and alltrac axles are different Options

[celica3sgte]

We all thought that they are identical. As a matter of fact, the hub end has the same number of splines. BUT, it is not the same size. So the camry axle will not fit in our 6gen hubs. So after I learned this I figured I would take the inner cv joint apart and put it on my broken st185 axle. The inner pieces on this end are different sizes as well. The shaft is different. And the grooves of the bearing are different. Here's a pic. Guys this really sucks, less availability.

st185 on left,,camry on right
st185 spline hole is bigger. The small spaces between the ball bearing grooves are wider on the st185.

The ST205 axles are all one peice, not a 2-piece inner / outer setup.

I have an LSD E153 tranny out of an MR2 with the matching MR2 inners axles and ST185 outers. The drivers side is fine, but the passenger side is too short - it just barely reaches the hub and is way over-extended. I'm looking for the Camry inner to compare to.

The Camry outer I mentioned ealier was the wrong year Camry V6. Autozone goofed....
