Would an OEM axle work?

Pretty sure any b series axle will work. But get one for a da just to be safe.

it will work if the motor in the DA has the same motor as you. but the half shaft from a b16 and one from an LS are completly different. they mount different, theyre splined different. me and a buddy realized this when we pulled my motor and the axle seized in the hub. we were going to use one out of his car but it was no bueno. just dont go buying an axle if your unsure.
