The only way to be sure is to measure.See the chart in this post HERE The overall axle length will be the same, but the distance to the bearing race is the issue. Quote Selected

83 to 86 driver inner axle? Reply #10 – December 05, 2008, 08:33:13 AM Works for me.The axle end to bearing race distances are as follows:83-85 25.75" to 27.19"86-88 26.63 to 28.38"The 86-88 7.5 axle housing is wider by approx 3/4" per side, thus the bearings are in a different spot on the axles. The overall length of the axles is the same. Quote Selected
