Sorry, what side?
Anyway, I'd say you need our refs N43804 for the LH or N43806 for the RH as the shafts for all MK1 AX's are the same apart of course from the side.
To double check you could advise the RP number of your AX, if the RP is before 5278 then the shafts I list above are correct. Its only after this RP number that things get a bit more complicated.

Bit slow on this one but, nah ah, the AX Drive shafts on the AX GT & GTI are different to the ones on standard AX's

The RP number is a four digit number that is used to precisely identify the actual build date of the vehicle, don't know where it is on the AX but it should be in an obviouse place, look for any plates or stickers in the engine bay and door pillars.
Go to the download section on the GSF home page, there is an RP guide in there.
