Alright well i just put on a new bc coilover suspension for the red lady blacktop 20v 6spd bt. Its been one week that i have been having problems with the driver side axle. Wen i recieve my bc coilover factory setting 'jay west coast vp' and i adjust the ride height and dropped it bout 2 1/2 inches.. later dwn the road inner boot on the axle started to split and pop rite out. Now jay and me have gone thru at least 5 axles.. corolla has 16inch wheels and wen u look at the axle "inner" u see it strecthing. Im using stock 97 corolla axle but it appears to be short.. wen shooting on the bolt on the hub u could see it strecthing. I need help. All i knw is that i need a customize driver axle and i dnt know any1 or anywhere that could do it any ideas??.

Drivers side should be no issue at all. Especially if you lowered it, technically this would shorten the distance slightly to the hub. However, I do recall Chiko having an issue with your car after installing the 6 speed but I thought it had something to do with the splines or the seal. His thread is on here somewhere.

Well shooting it from the hub slightly or tightning it.. pretty firm on there the inner boot stretches and u can feel the cv joints comin out of cup. then wen u takin dwn the road or hopefully out of ur drive way "if u make it" it splits the boot.and wen u pick up speed it will come out tearing the boot off and u see the cv joints hangin out. Wen it cam to lowering the car.. i started havin this problem.

And the seal i have is the correct one and the splines are all good matching. Its just the length of the axle.

Your best bet is to find a axle shaft off another car and replace the ends with the ones you have

Yea thats my best bet that i mite have to do. I need the length to b 2inches longer and wat we had found is 97 camry outer hub "26"matches but inner doesnt. Inner has 20 and the c160 tranny inner has "23". If the shop can manage to wrk with it hopefully the cv joint from the camry will fit in the 97 corolla inner cup. Hopefully it would wrk..
