I want one too. I saw a complete one minus the diff on ebay awhile back. Get ready to pay big bucks for it. The one on ebay was north of $1100 plus shipping from California. I'll keep an eye out but if I see one at a descent price....  __________________  | | | | | 06-03-2011, 02:26 AM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |
I don't need the diff or half shafts. __________________ ...steven

If you got the complete rear setup with halfshafts, you wouldn't need to shim the rear ABS sensors. | | | | | 06-03-2011, 09:41 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: PA Posts: 1,906 |
