I think you need a GQ axle for a GQ housing.
GU track is wider

i think Gqs have a plate in the center that needs to be removed for gu axles

just out of curiosity is it the gu cvs that make up the extra track or the axle it self?

15mm wider each side on the housing.. so cvs are longer aswell

If your locker is the RD09 it has a block in the guts of the locker that has to be taken out and GU axies will fit.
