Do you mean the output shafts?
The half shafts (they go from the diff output flanges, to the wheel) are the same.

If you have a JDM 1JZ helical LSD, and you need the output shafts (also called the output flanges),
Good luck !
Almost impossible to find.
The retaining ring grove is further towards the end, than the US shafts,
and they (the US ones) will not retain properly.

I have seen guys machine the US shafts, and add a retainer onto the the end.
I will try to find the info on who does it.

The JDM lsd's are weak, and fail a lot. There's bound to be someone with a broken diff that you could get the half shafts from. I would not recommend this lsd anyways. I tried one out and it failed within just a couple of months at only 375hp.

You must have had one of the early T-1 LSDs (tangential gear).
The newer T-2s (parallel gear) helicals are much stronger.
