rwd conversion q


Recommended Posts

Apart from taking out the axles, what does "yanking the axles" entail? I might be interested in doing that.

 

Take out the front axles. But I would strongly recommend having some old outer ends to put back in and torque the castle nut, since they are what gives the bearing its load.

something else that i think is worth mentioning, seeing as we're getting into it, is that if you don't lower your car or install an anti-role bar...rwd can be a little sketchy...so just keep that in mind.

 

basically what i mean is that front drive has a good bit of lateral stability, so when i change it to rwd only i risk having the rear step out unpredictably.

Having ran RWD for over a year, yes it gets squierlley sometimes. Watch out on wet tarmac, it could it ugly. But one things for sure, IT'S FUN!!!:headbang:
