Ok I am so lost, I have a failing axle in my TE38 and I needed a replacement. So I visited the junk yard and pulled an axle from an Ra40 ST and I can't FIND ANY INFO! Weird thing is in order to gain access to the diff you have a cover on the back you remove and the spindle snout is actually a part of the axle. It's much larger than my stock axle but I can't find an lsd until I can identify this axle.

 

Please help

One is a banjo type and one is a Salisbury type by the sound of it- Google them and see what they look like.

 

Toyota used both, all the Aussie Corollas got Salisbury,(Borg Warner) all the Japs got Banjos.

 

Banjos are pressed sheet steel welded together with the diff unit accessed from the nose as one piece, Salisbury are cast iron and the diff unit comes out in pieces from the rear.
