4.444 in the front axel of 87-88 Mazda 4wd trucks will fit. Never hear of the 5.38 but would like info on them.

4.88 and 5.12 came in Suzuki Grand Vitara front axels. Mazda made lots of parts for those sport-cutes.

I could have swore I heard somthing about the 5.38's in the older mazda pu's... if I took the ring gear out of the front of one of those trucks would I have to flip my axel to make it work right?
