Adjustable Arms/Axle issue

Okay, I desperately need some help. Installed all of my rear arms on my s13 subframe, then installed my Insane Shafts axles, but for some reason, the axle seem too long? The adjustable control arm is almost maxed out on threads, and I've still got a ton of positive camber. I can't adjust the arms any further out, without it being completely unsafe. But, the axle is still kind of squished. I'm pretty positive the axles are the correct ones for my 13, but I don't know how to fix this problem. Any help is appreciated.

Does one side seem too short?

If so, its because the axles are different lengths. Swap em.

Gonna try that in about an hour. Pretty sure that's the issue. I'm hoping at least.

What tuzzio said. The driver-side is shorter than the passenger side. Hopefully this fixes your issue.

Sorry for not updating, but it turns out that I was sent 2 of the same shafts. The replacement was much shorter, so the sub frame should be back in the car this Saturday.

Okay, so after installing the shorter left side axle, the longer right side axle is completely compressed still yet, with no play. Arms are almost fully extended as well. What gives?
