I put a 28 spline diff in my 96 Kia, when I put in the shaft, it rotated freely. This means that the 26 spline shaft is smaller than the 28 spline.


That's a good sign. The axle shaft is over 30mm if I remember correctly so it must neck down to about 27mm for the 26 spline and I am hoping that it necks down to ~29mm for the 28 spline.

Why did you put a 28 spline diff in your 96???
