Axle Selection on E30 LSD Swap Need some help here. I did the E30 6-cyl 3.73 LSD swap 3? years ago, and have gone through a couple iterations of axles along the way: 1) Used E30 inner CV/E36 ti outer CV hybrid axles: blew inner CV joint due to torn boot. 2) New E30 325is axles: outer CV joint about to go out after 2 years, leaking grease from poorly sealing stamped metal flanges. (BTW, got these from Zygmunt/bimmerparts.com. Build quality sucks.) Has anyone found *reliable* axles for this swap? I'm leary of buying another set of used OE E30 axles because of the age/mileage. If the latest axles I bought are any indication, the build quality of aftermarket axles seems to suck. Anyone have suggestions? Thanks. Constant |
I think we used E30 axles for WorldPac. I've been running my diff for 1 1/2 years with no problems. The car will be on the lift tomorrow for an 02 sensor so I will take a closer look. That is with probably 8 or 10 weekends at the track. I don't know if being a Quaife matters. |
I've been using regular 325is axles for a couple of years now. The axles I bought were in horrible condition, so I went to an auto parts supplier that had them rebuilt for about 100CAD each. No problems so far. (knock on wood) SL Quote:
