bootlegger_2/95 eagle talon rear diff and axles - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting



now i was thinking that the all 2g and some of the 1g came with a 4-bolt rear axle.
but this is not what seen when i crawled under the car.

can anyone identify this or know of a link to find out more, the car is a 95 talon tsi awd 5-speed.

thank for any help.

What is your question? It looks like a standard 2G rear axle with ABS?

Agreed. Looks like a normal 2G rear.

i guess the question would be what happened to the 4-bolt axle cups? or is there a difference in the strength from a 4-bolt with cups vs. straight up axle?
i only have been fooling with the 1g stuff and this is the first 2g for me and its not what i expected to see from what i always read about. no one has posted anything about these, that i can find anyway.
so are you saying the 2g didnt come with 4-bolt axles just the later 1g's?
thanks for your replys also.

2G rears spline in both the outside by the wheel and in the differential. Think of it this way: Contact surface for a torque load of the 4 bolts on the 1Gs vs. the surface area of splines with a torque load on the 2Gs. Now which one seems stronger?
