how can I tell if a 9 bolt is posi or not Hi, I am going to look at a used 9 bolt for sale. I was told it was out of an 88 GTA (axle is already removed) Seller did the "torque test" for me and said it took over 50 ft/lbs to turn one side with the other locked (hopefully confirming the cones are ok) Does this test alone confirm it must be a posi? thanks, I'm a noob with axles and I was thinking of swapping this supposed working one in while I try to do the cone repair on my worn out one. thanks, -Dan |
Re: how can I tell if a 9 bolt is posi or not Yes. I've only seen ONE pic of ONE of that model rear that wasn't posi, so your odds are pretty good regardless. |
Re: how can I tell if a 9 bolt is posi or not cool thanks! now gotta hurry up and get it! |
Re: how can I tell if a 9 bolt is posi or not If you turn one wheel and the other turns the same way it is a posi. I think this works with the GM posi. |
Re: how can I tell if a 9 bolt is posi or not I've never seen or heard of an open diff 9-bolt, but as old as they are, there is no guarantee that the posi is still good inside. Most likely is, but ya never know. My 87 9-bolt is perfectly alive. |
