Been searching the list and can't find exact clarification. Are the rear half shafts the same through the EA82's, or do the turbo models have a different one than the non-turbo? I'll be hitting the bone yard tomorrow and i know the rear driver side 1/2 shaft is going bad... It clunks nicely when you apply the clutch.

 

PS. I do have the FT4WD Tranny, but not the one with the hi / low set-up. Would love to have one of those. Actually, I wouldn't mind having the regular 5 spd hi / lo for the turbo, but I like what I got.

All EA82 rear axles are the same.

 

But your problem may not be a axle, it could be the bushing on top of the rear diff. Get under the car and see if you can push the diff up.

Nope, diff is firmly in place. When underneath, I can make the sound by turning the driveshaft, and I can hear the driverside rear CVJ go kunk.

 

I was just looking at Rock Auto, and it looks like there is a difference between the 82 - 87, and 87 - 94 years, but there is not a difference as far as the turbo / non-turbo is concerned.

82-87 are for EA81's.

Use the 87-94 years for EA82's.
