Rear Axle Discussion

[az_240]

Anyone happen to know what axle stubs are interchangeable? I guess the lengths of the stubs are different between chassis. It would be nice to know what works with what.

Was reading this thread for reference> http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=570091


I'm basically trying to fit 5x1 10mm flanges (for j30 axles) into a USDM open diff LSD (Kaaz or Cusco RS) and want to know which ones I can use.

I'm sure there are others out there wondering the same thing since the open diff LSDs are a lot more common.

From what I can tell the USDM 6 bolt stubs (3x2 open diff) and USDM 5 bolt stubs (VLSD 5x1) are not interchangeable.

Also looks like USDM and JDM s-chassis axle stubs are not interchangeable.

But it looks like the JDM 6 bolt stubs and JDM 5 bolt stubs are (from what I've seen on YAJ listings with cusco diffs). Can anyone confirm?

Also trying to avoid the 5 star 8mm stubs since they won't work with J30 axles... anyone know specifically what cars used these?

You're only adding confusion here..

Viscous LSDs use very specific output shafts and as far as I know, are not interchangeable with much other than a VLSD.

The 5 and 6 bolt flanges you are referring to as "JDM" are the 30-spline shafts that use 10mm hardware. Again, this has been discussed.

Re-read the thread.
