edrach Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I've been told that the rear axles on an EA81 hatch are the same as the axles on an EA82 wagon. Before I pull the wrong axles can someone confirm that? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 the doj and inner bearing pieces will swap vice versa, but the ea82 rear axle is longer than the ea81. this is due to the whole suspension on the ea82 being wider i have read that the ea82 doj allows for more travel of the axle, a plus if you are mix and matching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
