Word of warning before purchasing these cv/axle sets, ensure that Roadrunner have completed the 'Australian Mods' before they send them to you. The circlip groove is in the wrong location, approx 1mm out of position, so needs to be recut, the axle lengths are 8mm too long, and they need to be cut down as well. The thrust block supplied will do your head in, however for my vehicle it isn't required as long as the axles are the same length as the ones coming out. @Rossco had a few dramas with his, mine are yet to go in, just did some intense checking after hearing about ross's issues and believe the information above is correct.
The problem appears to be the USA manufacturer has the wrong length for the axles. For reasons unknown they dont appear to be listening to the feedback, so every set supplied for the GQ needs to be shortened. The mod is executed with a thin angle grinder wheel - yet to do mine, warranty not affected.
