86looneyGL Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I have an 86 gl that has had both axles replaced 3 times in the past two years!!! I searched and searched for them (axles) in second hand part shops and such but never could find the correct ones to fit. That continued for a bit then I ran into a person whom informed me that the two car share the same axel.?! Is that true? I can't seem to find a good fit for them, can anyone help?? 901-219-2910 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85Sub4WD Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 the GL and brat have different front axles as one is an EA81 (brat) and the other is an EA82 ('86 GL) - the splines should be the same, but the length will be different - that said, any front axle off a '85-'94 GL/Loyale non-turbo will work - turbo 4-speed autos and MT turbos have a different spline count that said, I think the rear axles are interchangeable between the brat and GL why go used when you can go reman with a lifetime gurantee for under $100? think how many used axles you may break in the lifetime of one reman, as used ones are usually worn out anyway - which is really cheaper? - not to mention labor and time spent under the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
