would a front spindle work for a rear?

JUST the spindle. Would a front spindle from any 2g work for a rear spindle on a 2g 1996 talon Tsi AWD? I have the bearing and hub, just need to find a new spindle and the only thing the part store around here has is a front spindle.

No, it will not.

Let me guess, the axle froze in the hub. If so I tried finding just the spindle also with no luck. I ended up getting the whole rear axle from dsm grave yard but it ran me about 250 bucks.

I have a spare pass side if that is the side you need

 

[eDiTicX]

Yea, that's exactly what happened actually. Lol. I had someone cut the whole bearing off with an acetylene torch and saved the axle. FML . And no, it's the drivers side but from my understanding any rear will work.

You can get the whole rear wheel bearing/hub assembly OEM. I forget what the exact damage what to my wallet, but that what I had to do.

I would take him up on that offer. Those are getting hard to come by.
