So, you're saying the same PN fits on one side, but is too short on the other side?
Did the old bearings have different PN's on the bearing itself? I realize the old bearings are likely gone/thrown out by now.
Do the new bearings have the same PN on them? Trying to rule out a wrong bearing was in a box/bag.
What's the chance the car was damaged at some point and a stub axle from a different year/model car was installed (that would need a different bearing)?
With my "plant maintenance" background, I may possibly get the PN of the bearing, then go to an industrial parts supplier and look up a different bearing, same basic spec's but a longer bore dimension.
That PN would likely NOT match to a dealer PN though.
