z ya Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 I replaced my R180 awhile ago with a R200 that I picked up from pick n pull. The original shafts bolted right up to the R200 with no issues. I keep hearing that they are different and do not bolt up. Mine did??? Anyone have some more insight on this issue????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudge Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Well SOB, I thought the # of splines were different between the two! Actually there is no splined shaft in these pictures to compare . Is it just me, or do all of these look the same length, when one side is supposed to be longer than the other on the R200? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 The difference is made up in the stub portion that is inserted into the differential (the splines are extended further into the carrier on one side verses the other). From that point outward, the shafts are identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Ok, good to know! Unfortunately that is the part that I need to get, doh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
