They are a 3 series carrier posi out of 10 bolts. They came from 4th gens (excpet the ones that had the Aubrun option and the '98 model year). Any 3 series gear will work with them.

 

ah

3.42 is 4 series isnt it ?

* in these 7.5" axles

i forget now

thanks

 

no 3.42 is a 3 series gear 4.10 would be a 4 series gear. you can also buy gears of a different series with a 3 series bolt pattern

 

ok cool deal then, i plan on a zexel for this axle then, sinc eit sounds like it will work, as long as it doesnt require messing with gear settings ?

anyone got zexel install details or URL to such ?

thanks

 

You might check to see that you actually have a 3.42 rear in that car... Sounds like a lot has been altered on it already...

 

actually its not very altered cept for GFX pieces and wheels,, its turns out to be a base model camaro with 2.8 and 700, nothing special, the code is GU6 for axle in this car

thanks

 

there is no differance in bolt patterns from one series carrier to the next, reguardless of what you might read on here. there is a differance in the flange thickness on the carrier between carriers and maybe a differance in gear thickness if the gear maker made a gear set to fit a carrier series it wasn't originally offered in.

 

yep, i understand,

the difference in series of carriers is the location of mounting flange for ring gear


known that for years, ive disassembled many semi floater rear axles, and full floaters too, car, truck, van, etc.
