Drive Shafts all the same with all models??

Post by IronMike »

Are all drive shafts all the same between all models i.e rev1-5, turbo and NA etc which means there all interchangable?

No - I cant say for sure on N/A's but rev 1 turbo drive shafts are different.- they didnt come with an lsd as standard - I believe you could have it as an option but the drive shafts are still different from later models.

Jay's right - you can't mix ABS and non ABS driveshafts / hubs - ISTR that the wheel hubs are different.
