Front axle length?

I am wanting to know if E39a VR4 front axle's are the same length left and right? I have been told that they are but the one that was in the right front of my ZR4 that fell out was slightly shorter (about 5mm) than the left front??

Thanks guys.

State side, the L and R axles are very different. The drivers side(us) is twice the length of the passenger.

To add to the above our driver side axle is 2 pieces with a carrier bearing on one piece. VERY different looking.

Not quite.

The axles themselves are the same length. There is a carrier bearing that plugs into the transmission and bolts to the block that takes up the extra length. This helps eliminate torque steer effects.

A FWD DSM has unequal length axles (no carrier bearing). They are also notorious for torque steer.
