2g AWD Axels in a FWD

[dave99gst]

2g AWD axels in a FWD ,if anyone was wondering.. it dont work/they dont fit . I heard that you can get AWD axels and jack shaft on 1g FWD's to reduce torque steer and was hoping ya could on a 2g.

Do you ahve both in yoru possession? Because then you could just compare them, but where they go in the tranny is probly a different location left to right in the car than the FWD models, so they probly arent the right length, but maybe.

Thread moved to drivetrain forum.

sorry bout posting in the wrong spot - they lenghts are diff from AWD to FWD ( ya gota use the AWD jack shaft to make up the diff ) but they go into the trans at the same spot.. the diff is the diameter on the AWD axels are smaller. Thats not to say it cant be done.. its just not worth it. You would have to have a custom axel made up for the passenger side, with a FWD CV joint and on the drivers side..ya would have to make the jack shaft larger to fit. ( a real PITA ) I only posted this info just so no one else trys to do it i didnt find info anywere on 2g axels and figured id pass it on.

Yeah, but it saved me some time and hassle instead of learning the hard way.
