Rear Axle Question

My car is a one wheeler peeler and I really do not like that. I have been told to just get a used rear axle with the posi or something like that because it will be cheapest.

What are your ideas?

Re: Rear Axle Question

Depends on the gear ratio. If you have a 3.23 to 3.73 then I would install a new Eaton Posi in the rear end that you have now. The Eaton will not work with 3.08 to 2.41 gear, so in that case a complete rear end would be easier. This will help. http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showth...ht=change+posi
