Which year's axles will work (pic)
So based on this pic of the 1.8 setup I have:
If one of the axles is damaged beyond use, what year's axles can I use? Apparently one was mushroomed really bad and can't be used so I need to find another.

any ol' 94+ axle? Even the one piece ones (there are 1 piece axles 94+, right?)?
If I wanted to keep it the same, which years have the two-piece axles?
edit - wheels aren't mine, those are 17s and go on my friend's minitruck.

use can reuse your 1.6L ones. what part is bad? the only difference between the 1.6L and 1.8L axles is the flange for the diff, the rest is interchangable....
so for example, you could pull the diff flange off all four axles and reattach the 1.8L ones onto the 1.6L axles and call it a day.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
I bought my 1.8 diff and axles from two places. The diff had the early stub axles in it, but I removed them and used a set of '97 one-piece axles that I bought separately. And those things were a royal pain the *** to install! You mean I could have kept the early 1.8 stubs and bolted by existing 1.6 axles to them?

No, the 1.6L axles couldn't just be used, as the flange that bolts them to the 1.8L stubs is different.
however, everything execpt the flange is the exact same. so the hub side is the same and the length of the axle itself is the same.
Take my situation for example: I bought '94 axles that weere supossed to have abs gears. they didnt. So I remvoed the hub side of the 1.8L axles and installed my 1.6L hub sides to the 1.8L shaft. Instant 1.8L ABS axles.
