Axles, axles, axles...EA82 differences (turbo vs.non-turbo)


Recommended Posts

So I was wondering what kinds of differences there were in axles. What is the spline count on them?

4EAT 4wd/2wd- turbo/nonturbo

3EAT 4wd/2wd- turbo/nonturbo

5-speed 2wd - turbo/nonturbo

D/R 5-speed 4wd- turbo/nonturbo

PB 5-speed 4wd- turbo/nonturbo

FT4WD D/R (RX) - turbo

FT4WD S/R - turbo/nonturbo

 

I can't think of any other tranny/motor combos but if I forgot one, lemme know and possibly the years these trannies were offeres and which cars...might helps some other people out as well:D

Let's make things more simple

 

On the CV end of the axle shaft there are the indentifications marks. The marks are about 1/4" wide and are a bit larger in diameter then the shaft. Note, reman and aftermarket axles may not have these.

 

If the axle has 1 ID mark then it's a 2WD Non-Turbo, 3-AT or 5-Speed. 23 Spline.

 

If the axle has 2 ID marks then it's 4WD Non-Turbo, 3-AT or 5-Speed or 2WD Turbo 3-AT. 23 Spline

 

If it has 3 Marks then it's 4WD Turbo 5-Speed or 4EAT, 2WD Turbo 4EAT or 4WD non-Turbo 4EAT. 25 Spline
