Hanover Fist Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hello all! First things first...have a safe and memorable 4th of July! Thank you veteran's for this holiday. I have a standard 84 brat (non turbo) with an 85 GL 5speed duo tranny. This will be my first front driver side axle replacement. Do I replace the axle with an 85 GL axle replacement or stay with the 84 brat? I'm not to sure if the spline count changed. Any help is truly appreciated. Thanx in advance.

alexbuoy Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 i’m assuming your 5 speed trans is non turbo so stick with the brat (ea81) axles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) The EA82 axles are much too long and will not fit even if you wanted or tried. You have no choice despite your question. And your welcome for the holiday. GD Edited July 3, 2019 by GeneralDisorder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Yep, unless someone also went to the trouble to widen the track width to EA82, and use the EA82 knuckles....you need the EA81 stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
