Some books are just calling for 23 spline ( at Advance Auto) yet online I am seeing both.Can someone conferm before I order new ones? TIA...

Davalos Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The big difference is the Turbo ... I thought I had the reference chart ... but I can't find it right now - I'll dig it up. 23 spline is ALMOST always the non-turbo. But there are 1 or 2 exceptions. Give me an hour - I'll dig it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was too dumb of a question then just 25 spline on 4wd turbo MT and 4spd auto's 23 spline on all 3spd autos and others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 You need a 23 spline axle. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiffy Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 You need a 23 spline axle. and count the splines before installing it to make sure they gave you the right one... I got an axle for my turbo, and it wouldn't go on... finally I counted the splines and found they had a 23-spline in a 25-spline box... grrr! I've heard that if you need a 23 and get a 25 installed it will strip the splines off... so count first to be sure... I got lucky that mine was the other way around... --Spiffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank B Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Don't believe that the part number on the box is the right one for what's inside either. If possible, bring your old one with you. If you can't, get the best measurements you can, count the splines, make sure it comes with a new nut, cotter pin, and roll pin since you really should replace all of them with a new axle. Also check the threads on the axle, if they are all chewed up, dinged and dented your nut will not stay on! A good way to check is to thread the nut on then try to wiggle it. If it is not tight on the threads, do not use it. Check the boots, check the boot clamps. I've bought axles that had missing boot clamps!

Turbone Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Singlecoil, your PM box is full. The diagram above should apply to all EA82 cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
