Yeah it seems it's just the differential he replaced, along with the right rear axle (likely cause the factory one was worn out). Shame it's again that side that took a damage, this time from the impact with the curb. I'd say pull the damaged axle shaft out and count the splines on the end that goes into the differential, then we'll know for a fact what you're working with, and whether you need to rip into your 3L55 axle for spares or not.
Also, for the record, if that K-code spare you got has anything over 100k on it, its own right rear axle shaft may be showing wear already. So you may have a spare that actually needs work too, and you won't know that till you open it. But again, open just the wagon axle for the time being, see where you stand there.The ones who accomplish true greatness, are the foolish who keep pressing onward.

the bent axle is a 28 spline. I have the axle from the 90 CV and they both measure the same taking in consideration the bent portion.
Not to leave well enough alone, are there companies that can straighten the bent axle and would it still be strong?

Send it to China so it can be made into a coat hanger and buy a new axle. Those are case hardened and if you bend it, its not likely to do the axle any favors by trying to straighten it.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Yes use the driver-side shaft out of that spare K-code axle you got into the housing that's already in the wagon. Install a new bearing and seal just to be on the safe side.The ones who accomplish true greatness, are the foolish who keep pressing onward.

I'm not having any luck.

It looks like I have to have an axle made by Moser.
Does 31 1/4 " on the shaft length sound right?
This is from the tip of the axle to the outer flange. 1 3/4 inch diameter of the shaft where the bearing sits.90 Colony Park LS with GT 40 heads and intake. HO cam, 65 MM TB, 67 MM EGR spacer.

What happened to the axles in the spare rear? They changed length in 90 iirc.03 Marauder DPB, HS, 6disk, Organizer Mods> LED's in & Out, M&Z rear control arms, Oil deflector, U-Haul Trans Pan, Blue Fuzzy Dice

I have 4 axles in my stash of parts. I marked them 90-91. If someone can confirm they are the same from a wagon to a sedan, Mark is welcome to one of them. WagonMan89 Colony Park

That's true, they're all the same as long as they're the wider housing. Unless the donor car is a limo Town Car, those axles are 31-spline and also larger diameter IIRC, so no-go for your needs. Regular Town Car is a match tho.The ones who accomplish true greatness, are the foolish who keep pressing onward.

Major bummer that the '90 spare housing was the narrow older type while the one under the '90 wagon is the newer wider type. Mid-yeah change probably, typical Ford asshatery. Grab a '91-up axle shaft just to be on the safe side, that ought to always be the longer one. I know a '96 shaft fits a '91 housing like it's meant to be.The ones who accomplish true greatness, are the foolish who keep pressing onward.
