New CV joint different width, return it ?

[H.G.P.]

Just realized my new CV joint is smaller width/length than the old one, New one is 3.0 cm, old one is 3.75. (The hub inside the cage is the same length though.)

Return the new one?

Thanks

maybe a newer 915 deal? is a 69 not 901 shifter? just a thought, check part numbers?

It's a 901, but the new joint is .75 cm shorter, yet there is still provision for stub inserts.
