rear axles swap


Recommended Posts

My n/a 83 had a wheel bearing seize and machined the rear axle down about 1/32 of an inch before it got bad enough to notice. Never heard a squeal or anything til the wheel started thumping and I hear that. Anyway the question is??? I've got an 83 turbo parts car does anyone know for a certainty if the rear axle is the same. Just the rear axle I know that the cv joint vs u joint adapter plate are different but are splines the same to mate them to the rear axle.

 

Thanks for any knowledte you have.

Please read his question careful before reply.

 

 

The axles are the same for both models. I just installed the stub axle from a turbo car into my 79 ZX. The splines are the same. The big nut on the N/A axle is pinched onto the end of the axle. Just use a flat head screw driver to pry the 2 tabs out slowly and you should be able to get the nut off. Good luck.
