4th Gen rear

Would the rear from a 4th gen fit and hook up to my car fine or would there be an issue with the brakes and how the driveshaft attaches?

The swap is common and requires nothing special. A quick search will provide you with a wealth of info.

Best of luck,

Pretty much a bolt in swap.

The 4th gen is wider and if you use your stock wheels they will stock out almost 2" per side... Or you can use 4th gen wheels and get them back under the wheel well.

If your car is rear drum brakes now, and the 4th gen is disk rears you will need a disk/disk prop valve
